During early nineties, a group of well-diversified highly educated Indians (Bengalis) from the Central New Jersey felt the necessity to promote various Indian (mainly Bengali) cultural activities in New Jersey. GSCA (Garden State Cultural Association) thereby emerged as an embryonic organization in January 1992 by several active and founding members from Garden State Puja Committee, with the help of many new friends and well wishers. This grass-root organization (GSCA) was founded without any financial asset but with lots of enthusiasm and excellent new programs. It received the Federal tax-exempt status as a nonprofit organization in 1993.

Since 1992, GSCA has been organizing and sponsoring various cultural and social events like Durga Puja, Saraswati Puja, Lakshmi Puja, Bengali Dramas, Baishakhi, Picnic, Christmas Party and lot more. GSCA has gained tremendous popularity in the tri-state area in the recent years and the events have been overwhelmed with attendees. The Union County grant that it receives from the government adds to the success story.
