Since its inception, many renowned persons came to be associated with this Rungpur Sahitya Parishad. Among them were eminent historian Akshay Kumar Maitra, Pandit Kokileshwar Vidyaratna(Professor of Sanskrit in Coochbihar College), Rai Kalika Das Dutta(Former Dewan of Coochbihar Raj), Jadabeshwar Tarkaratna, Padmanath Vidyabinod( Archeologist and Professor of Cotton College of Guahati), Rai Sarat Chandra Das(famous for his exploration in Tibet), Sarat Chandra Chowdhury(eminent author).

The Parishad started publishing a quarterly journal named “Rungpur Sahitya Parishad Patrika” from September’1906. Till 1912, Shri Panchanan Sarkar played the role of its editor. He was succeeded by Pandit Bhabani Prasanna Lahiri of Naldanga. Emulating the tradition of the Bengal Asiatic Society Journal, the Parishad used to publish essays on subjects as diverse as Archeology, Linguistics etc. and descriptions of ancient manuscripts in the journal. It also used to publish the minutes of Parishad’s monthly and yearly gatherings in the journal’s appendix. (To be continuded....)
