From time to time, Bangla Proshar Committee organises (or takes part in) various community or cultural events.
For instance, last year between 23-24 March, 2002, it held a Bangla Film Festival - the first of its kind in Sydney if not in Australia - and plans to do the same at least once in every two years.
The film festival was a huge success in making NRB children and the wider community aware of the rich cinematic heritage of the Bangla culture and also in drawing large crowd to the Hurstville Civic Theatre, Hurstville where the festival was held.
