Career
Sailen Ghosh played a role in the drama
Dakghar, written by Rabindranath Tagore,

children. In 1959, he became affiliated with
the Manimela organisation and started
writing for them. He won several awards,
including the prestigious Sangeet Natak
Akademi Award, Vidyasagar Award and
Jawaharlal Nehru Fellowship. He wrote
several short stories, novels and dramas
for children in various Bengali magazines,
including Anandamela and Sandesh.

He lived alone in his apartment at

Kestopur, Kolkata.
Sishu Rangan
Ghosh was a founder member and actively
involved with the Sishu Rangan
organisation, a voluntary body that
teaches children the basics of acting,
dancing and singing. It was established in
1970. He was the General Secretary of
Sishu Rangan, from its foundation day to
till 6 March 2016.
