The History of the Calcutta Auxiliary coincides with history of the Bible Society of India in its beginning. It was established on 21st February 1811. In later years, in the post independence era, the Calcutta Auxiliary became one of the auxiliaries to function within the jurisdiction of the operation of the Bible Society of India. Significantly the Auxiliary still functions from the same old stately building on Jawaharlal Nehru Road (Chowringhee Road) in Calcutta, as it had done 190 years ago. |

The Auxiliary now concentrates on Bible work in West Bengal and Sikkim. The Auxiliary is making progressive strides to bring knowledge of God's Word to semi-literate people through the audio and video media. It has already produced audio scripture portions in Bengali.
