ANNUAL REPORT- 2017 - 2018

GENESIS – The society was established way back in 1995 after Smt. KARABI MAJUMDER visit to a blood donation camp in her locality which was graced by Mother Teresa. Her compassionate speech was encouragement enough for Smt. MAJUMDER to start a welfare society along with the support of her husband Mr. PRIYABANDHU MAJUMDER and a few other dedicated souls. Since the governing body of the society is dominated by people who are dedicated to the world of fine arts, the society envisioned to redeem the poor masses of their crisis by generating funds through their cultural efforts and utilizing the same for the benefit of the distressed population. Thus an organization with zeal to hold welfare services for the needy masses was formed and is going strong till date
