The Bengalee Association was founded and registered under Societies Act on 16th September 1959.

Initially it came into existence in the form of a public Library named Bharati Pathagar in 1950. Subsequently it was transformed into cultural platform while performing Tagore's birth Anniversary. Ultimately the constitution was formulated and registered in 1959.

The present building of the Association near Ulsoor Lake was built in 1980 and expanded twice, once during 1995-96 and again in the year 2000.

The Bengalee Association has two definite directions of its activities and services. Primarily it is a social commitment, a home away from home, a link between varied communities, a mouthpiece to the local administration and a solace to the people in distress. On the other hand essentially it is a platform to propagate our rich cultural heritage, an arena to pursue integration of cultural diversity of our country, an institute to cultivate cultural passion.

Activities of the Association is directed by its constitution of memorandum and bye-laws and governed by two statutory bodies. One is Board of Trustees which is the custodian of immovable properties and look after the allocation of funds. Other being the Executive Committee responsible for all the activities and implementation of the Plans & Programmes. Both these bodies are elected in the Annual General Meeting.

To support the activities of the Association two wings were created with specific objectives. One is Ladies Wing and other is Krishti - the Theatre Wing of the Association.

A House Bulletin is published quarterly for information update and private circulation.
