Projects and Services
Educating the Future
Rotary Visionaries Public School (RVPS)
Located in the remote village of Santigachi, Sunderbans, RVPS is a beacon of hope for communities where basic education was once a distant dream. What began as a humble effort under a tree has blossomed into a fully equipped school serving nearly 500 children.
Sustainability & Growth: We are currently pursuing affiliation with the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education and have recently planted over 330 fruit-bearing trees on the premises to promote environmental care and generate future income for the school.
“Choti Si Asha” Campaign: We believe every child deserves the chance to learn. For just ₹9,600 a year (₹800/month), sponsors can cover a child’s complete tuition, books, uniforms, and daily meals.
Dignity in Aging
Rotary Ramthakur Briddhabas
A dedicated old age home providing shelter, essential care, and a loving community to elderly residents. We regularly organize grooming sessions, health check-ups, and distribute necessities like blankets and mosquito nets.
Current Focus: To meet growing needs, we are currently executing Phase 2 of our construction, aiming to raise ₹50 Lakh to expand our capacity and build a permanent safe haven for vulnerable elders.
Community Integration: We are also developing the surrounding area by building a ghat on the nearby waterbody, planting trees, and developing a park for local residents.
The Elixir of Life
Safe Drinking Water Project
In the deepest pockets of the Sunderbans (such as Purba Gopalgunge and Kultali), families face severe shortages of safe drinking water. We are changing this narrative by sinking deep tube wells directly in these communities.
Our Impact: We have successfully inaugurated over 200 wells, drastically reducing the distance villagers must travel for clean water. We are currently seeking corporate partners to adopt and fund our next target of 100 additional wells at ₹2.5 Lakh per well.
Healing Hands
Grassroots Healthcare Interventions
MCH Medical Camps: We run free, fortnightly Mother and Child health camps at Subhashgram, examining hundreds of patients monthly and providing free prescribed medicines (operating cost: ₹60,000 per camp).
Life-Changing Surgeries: In collaboration with Prem Milan Nursing Home, we sponsor completely free Hernia and Hydrocele surgeries for underprivileged patients, covering all surgical, medicinal, and post-operative meal costs.
