established on June 29, 1960. Members of the party's first executive committee were elected: President
Ajitesh Banerjee, Secretary Asit Banerjee, Assistant Secretary Ajay Ganguly and Treasurer Satyen Mitra. One of the founding members Dipen Sengupta named the group party Nandikar. The logo was designed by none other than Satyajit Ray. The group was later joined by Keya Chakraborty, Bibhas Chakraborty, Ashok Mukhopadhyay and Rudra Prasad Sengupta. The group's early productions were mainly adaptations of non-Indian dramas, such as Six Characters in Search of a Playwright (Luigi Pirandale's' Six Characters in Search of an Author '), Manzuri Amer Manzuri (Chekhov's' Cherry Orchard'), Jokhan Ika (Arnold ',' Arnold ' Sher Afghan (Pirandello's 'Henry Eve') and the three-penny turn (Bertolt Brecht's 'Three Penny Opera'). They have also produced four chapters of Rabindranath Tagore. This period was the golden era of Nandikar which witnessed stalwarts Ajitesh Bandopadhyay, Asit Bandopadhyay, Rudra Prasad Sengupta and Keya Chakraborty performed together on many plays.

The main aim as they present it in "Nandikar Profile" is to let the school children know their milieu and perceive their world through theatre, to initiate their analysis of his milieu, to sharpen the interface between the "I and the World" and help them assume the role of world-changers. As part of the project there have been arranged training for 250 teachers from 80 schools in West-Bengal, short-term workshops at 96 schools and longer-term workshops at 32 schools resulting in stage performances. Nandikar has also documented their TIE-project, made video modules and published a book on theatre games (Sengupta 2000) and a collection of plays for children (Nandikar 2000). One of these projects is "Journey into Theatre", the annual workshop Nandikar organizes with the Dramatics Cell,
