Probasee Bengalee Association of New Zealand, incorporated in 1998, is a non-profit cultural organisation founded mainly to uphold and promote the rich cultural heritage of Bengal and India in this distant land, which has been adopted as home by the migrant Bengalis. The association conducts cultural, socio-religious events throughout the year with particular attention to the youth, so that youngsters born and brought up in New Zealand get to experience and stay in touch with their roots. Probasee participates in various programmes from time to time organised by other groups, both Indian and non-Indian and spreads the essence of Bengali (Indian) culture amongst the people of New Zealand.
