Sabha was one of the first to bring out a newsletter, "News and Views", and from 1960 onwards, has brought out its Annual number, titled, VITASTA. This magazine is rich in literary content and acknowkedged as the best community magazine globally. The Sabha plays a pivotal role in maintaining our religious and cultural moorings by organising regular meetings, hawans, cultural events etc on important occasions in Kashmir Bhawan, Salt Lake, Kolkata and annual picnics for members of biradari.

Kashmir Bhawan, Kolkata at CK 35 Salt Lake, Kolkata built by biradri members under the Presidency of Sh Avtar Kishen Dhar and his team during mid 1990's has fulfilled the dream of biradari to have own premises for celebrating various festivals and offer rooms for biradari members visiting Kolkata for short term accomodation for pursuing educational, employement, cultural and medical check up reasons.

Kashmir Sabha Trust has also been set up to help the needy members of community to meet educational, medical or other requirements from whatever resources that are raised by biradari and Sabha.
