In 1962, a team of selfless volunteers in Chembur got together on 26th January, the Republic Day and decided to start a Cultural Society to promote Classical Music, Dance and Drama and hold programmes for the public. A temporary office was set up in a small garage at 15th Road in Chembur and a beginning was made. The first programme was held one year later.
From such small beginnings, this developed gradually into a bigger and bigger activity. The Society was formally registered in 1962. The concept was gradually enlarged to a Multipurpose Complex and at last after 30 years, it could be said in 1993 the "dream has come true" when the Fine Arts Cultural Centre was inaugurated.
