Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 14, 2025, as Bangla New Year Day in the State of New York
AI Summary
This resolution calls on Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim April 14, 2025, as Bangla New Year Day in the State of New York, recognizing the significant contributions of Bangla-speaking communities in the state. The resolution specifically highlights the cultural importance of the Bangla New Year (also known as Pohela Boishakh), which is a traditional celebration marking the start of the Bengali calendar year. By requesting the governor to make this proclamation, the legislative body aims to honor and celebrate the heritage and achievements of the Bangla-speaking diaspora in New York. The resolution also directs that copies of the resolution be formally transmitted to Governor Hochul and to Bishawjit Saha, the CEO and Founder of Muktadhara Foundation Inc., likely a community organization representing or supporting Bangla-speaking communities.
