Sumintra grew up in a humble home amongst eleven children. She attended the Clarke Rochard Government School, the Siparia Junior Secondary School and the Barrackpore Senior Comprehensive. It was here she pursued the subject of Art because of her original love for it she obtained a distinction in the subject. However, she was unable to pursue a career in Art because of various reasons. After several years of marriage Art was the furthest thing from her mind. Her husband, Kumar, surprised her one-day by purchasing materials for her to paint once again. He knew her favorite medium was acrylic and she loved to do nature scenes. Her work was kept private for a couple of years but was later encouraged by prominent persons to show pieces publicly.
