Established as a “not for profit” in 23rd January 1978. We have taken the direction he set under the skillful and vivacious leadership of the dedicated social worker Mr. Tapan Kumar Mandal, who was moved to action by the dreadful predicament of flood effected people in West Bengal in 1978 and was inspired to take action to improve their socio-economic conditions.
