History

[edit]

Paschimbanga Rajya Pratibandhi Sammilani was founded in 1986 under the leadership of Kanti Gangopadhyay. It originated from Dakshin Sahartali Pratibandhi Sammilani (DSPS), initially based in the southern suburbs of Kolkata. The DSPS was formed in 1984. Over the years, PRPS expanded its influence and became a prominent voice for disability rights in West Bengal.[1]
