Plans

As part of its goal to promote Bengali culture for a wider international audience, the Swadhinata Trust now seeks to establish a centre whose main activity will be in the field of culture, research and education. Swadhinata also proposes to develop a series of projects which will enable it to generate income through which to further support its activities. Planning Meeting

It aims to operate as a community and 'not-for-profit' business, selling educational material, teaching and consultancy services to statutory, voluntary and community sector agencies initially in Tower Hamlets and ultimately, nationwide.

The establishment of an archival facility with a focus on the history of Bengalis in Britain is also envisaged as a complement to its educational activities. Within a wider definition of educational activities, the Trust also proposed to explore its potential to develop facilities such as study tours to Bangladesh, exchange programmes abroad and local history tours exploring the presence of Bengalis in Tower Hamlets.
