We are an informal group of friends (by profession teachers, entrepreneurs, engineers, scholars, salaried employees, social workers, etc.).
We came together in the month of April this year with a common aim of supporting people who are largely affected due to the CoVID-19 & ongoing lockdown situation. These people are basically ‘Pay-Cheque-Clients’.
We had to marshal all available resources and capacity to try and reach out to the less fortunate, Since 3rd April 2020, we have been trying to lend as many hands as possible to those who are under-equipped to deal with this crisis, so most of our efforts have been confined to arranging one of the most basic human needs – food.
Migrants, slum dwellers without ration cards, cut-off from existing supply chains or where government help has not yet reached, pavement dwellers, the homeless on the streets, railway stations & many more are right now struggling to acquire food to feed their children and themselves, now we are happy to know that our effort is causing a little smile on their face.
Shibasish conceived the idea first.
The rest of the team members came together to support the idea and working since 3rd April 2020.
We started doing it at the central location of our hometown Serampore only, then expanded to every nook & corner and outskirts of the town.
We started with feeding 30 people a day, in the last week of April’20 the number reached 70.
Due to some unavoidable circumstances, we had to stop the distribution of cooked food, instead, we are giving food grains & other essentials since 3rd May 2020.
Compassionately serving the poor and those who are in need, strengthen individuals & families by enhancing their quality of living.
Empowering people to have the ability for creating opportunities for themselves.
