The Socio Cultural Society of Bishnupriya Manipuri (SCSBM) is a registered society in Agartala, Tripura, set up to protect and promote the language, arts and heritage of the Bishnupriya Manipuri community. Its programmes span arts and culture, education, language promotion, women’s empowerment, awareness and community welfare, and it maintains a Central Library and Research Centre. Meta Mint designed and developed the society’s website.
The challenge
A community heritage organisation has to speak to several groups at once. Members of the community look for news of seminars, workshops and cultural functions. Donors, CSR teams and government agencies want to see what the society actually does, how it is governed and whether gifts qualify for tax exemption. Researchers want a route into the library and the society’s publications.
Trust matters most where money changes hands. Supporters need to know which cause they are funding, how to pay and how to obtain an 80G receipt, and the society needs a public place to warn that only authorised representatives may collect donations on its behalf.
Our solution
Meta Mint built a content-rich site that gives each strand of the society’s work its own page, keeps its records public, and offers CSR partners, grant-makers, government bodies and volunteers their own entry points.
- Programme pages. Separate pages explain the work in arts and culture, education, language promotion, women’s empowerment, awareness and community welfare.
- Donation page with named causes. Campaigns such as Save the Mridanga, the Dress Bank Drive and Educate a Child show progress towards their targets, with giving tiers, UPI and bank-transfer details and the steps to claim an 80G receipt.
- Notice board. A scrolling ticker and notice board carry announcements, AGM notices, news of published annual reports and the caution notice on authorised collection.
- Annual reports archive. Past annual reports and an activity summary can be downloaded as PDFs.
- Photo and video galleries. Albums from workshops, handicraft trainings and annual meetings sit alongside embedded YouTube videos, including a briefing in the Bishnupriya Manipuri language.
- Library catalogue. The Central Library page lists catalogued items by access number, title, author and source.
How we delivered it
Descriptive page addresses such as /work/language-promotion and /partner/csr make each section easy to share and link to. The site has its own content management login for updating notices, galleries and reports, is served over HTTPS, and carries privacy and terms pages.
