The Mukerji family's Durga Puja is a non-profit organisation which is involved in various charitable causes through its vast and distinguished member base. The trust was founded in 1948 by Sasadhar Mukerji of Bombay Talkies — a well-known Hindi films producer, a Padma Shri Awardee and the one who is described as the founder of Filmistan and Filmalaya Studios — along with JM Bhadra and other family members and like-minded people of the Santa Cruz area. The founding committee consisted of 26 members, led by Sasadhar Mukerji as its president. Today, Deb Mukerji is the secretary of North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja. Over the years, the trust's followers has expanded to more than 50,000 and voluntary work by these dedicated members keeps the organisation committed to its primary objectives.
