Dibyangana is actively associated with cultural institutions like Kalamandal in Dharmanagar, Shrutipuram, and Kala Bitan in Belonia. Her achievement has sparked pride not only in her hometown but across both North and South Tripura.

Family members, including her grandparents, along with cultural mentor Santosh Sutradhar, have played a pivotal role in encouraging her passion and dedication towards classical music. Her recognition is being seen as a promising sign for the growth of classical arts among the youth of the state.
