Activities

The development of children and youth is crucial, as they hold the key to our country’s future. Our organization Kishalaya Taruntirtha focuses on their education, physical training, and cultural development. Through our dedicated efforts, we strive to empower them with the knowledge and skills necessary for a better tomorrow. We believe that education lays the foundation for their growth, while physical training ensures a healthy body and mind. Cultural training fosters a sense of identity and appreciation for diversity. Kishalaya Taruntirtha passionately works towards nurturing the potential of children and youth, shaping them into responsible and capable individuals.

Kishalaya Taruntirtha is dedicated to social development by uplifting the living conditions of impoverished communities. Through economically and technically sustainable activities, we aim to create lasting positive change. Our organization focuses on implementing initiatives that provide access to basic necessities, such as clean water, sanitation, and housing. We also prioritize skill development and income-generating opportunities to empower individuals and families to break free from the cycle of poverty. Kishalaya Taruntirtha believes that by addressing the root causes of poverty and fostering self-reliance, we can create a more equitable and prosperous society for all.

Kishalaya Taruntirtha actively engages in environmental protection and conservation efforts. We raise awareness about the importance of maintaining hygiene, both in our physical surroundings and personal well-being. Additionally, our organization is committed to disaster management during natural disasters or calamities. By promoting preparedness, response, and recovery measures, we strive to mitigate the impact of such events on communities and safeguard their lives and environment. Kishalaya Taruntirtha works tirelessly to create a sustainable and resilient future for our planet and its inhabitants.

“Until you dig a hole, you plant a tree, you water it and make it survive, you haven’t done a thing”.–Wangari Maathai. Recognizing the pressing issue of deforestation caused by human activities like logging, urbanization, and agriculture, Kishalaya Taruntirtha is dedicated to protecting the environment. We organize tree plantation drives on the organization premises and each student in our school and every villager in our locality are distributed two saplings. By promoting these initiatives, we are actively contributing to reforestation efforts and encouraging sustainable land use practices. Our goal is to safeguard the environment and secure a sustainable future for all.

“Every drop of donated blood is a lifeline for someone in need.” In line with this profound statement, Kishalaya Taruntirtha organizes blood donation camps and seminars to emphasize the importance of donating blood. Our dedicated secretary delivers speeches on the significance of blood donation, inspiring individuals to become regular donors. We collaborate with medical professionals to ensure a safe and hygienic environment for blood collection. By spreading awareness and fostering a culture of compassion, we strive to make a lasting impact by providing life-saving blood to those in critical situations. Together, we can create a ripple of hope and save countless lives through the simple act of blood donation.

In an arsenic-prone area where tube wells contaminate drinking water, Kishalaya Taruntirtha took the initiative in 2018 to provide arsenic-free drinking water. With the support of Dr. Arup Sengupta, a renowned scientist and chemical engineering professor at Lehigh University, we installed arsenic and iron removal plants. Over 350 families, predominantly from Gazna and Tegharia villages, along with others from Sutia, Nagbari, Kutipara, Bishnupur, Pubali, and S-Jadavpur, now have access to pure drinking water. Water quality tests are conducted quarterly, and Sri Prasenjit Ghosh coordinates this essential project. We are grateful for the support of Drinkwell, Wistwater, and Lehigh University in making this life-saving endeavor possible.

“When the well’s dry, we know the worth of water.” – Benjamin Franklin. Kishalaya Taruntirtha, in collaboration with Joygopalpur Gram Vikash Kendra, undertakes a project for sustainable water resource management. Our focus is on controlling excessive groundwater usage and addressing water misuse to preserve rivers, canals, and ponds. We aim to raise awareness and implement effective measures to safeguard this invaluable resource for present and future generations. This project, led by KTT with the support of Joygopalpur Gram Vikash Kendra, plays a vital role in ensuring responsible water management practices.

Understanding the significance of Self-Help Groups (SHGs) for underprivileged and tribal women, we are actively involved in forming and conducting these groups. SHGs provide a platform for women to learn new skills, enhance their confidence, and achieve financial independence. Through our program, we offer training, resources, and guidance, empowering these women to become self-reliant and assertive. This initiative has benefited approximately 400 families, enabling them to improve their living standards, access resources, and opportunities, and lead more fulfilling lives. Last year, our SHG program continued successfully, facilitating loan sanctions for self-employment, medical treatment, daughters’ marriages, business ventures, cultivation, and house construction, bringing tangible benefits to the group members.

Asar Math, a cultural and physical training unit by KTT, caters to children between the ages of 7 and 18. We provide comprehensive training in both cultural and physical activities. Our students actively participate in state and national-level competitions, showcasing their talents and skills. Our Asar Math strives to nurture and develop the artistic and physical abilities of our students, enabling them to excel in their chosen fields and make a mark at higher levels of competition.

SILPATIRTHA, a training center for drawing, songs, music, and dance, is operated by KTT. Currently, we have 60 students and three dedicated teachers. The center is affiliated with Prachin Kala Kendra, Chandigarh. Examinations for our students are conducted at our home center, providing a convenient and comfortable environment for them to showcase their skills and artistic abilities. SILPATIRTHA serves as a platform for nurturing artistic talents, promoting creativity, and fostering a deep appreciation for various art forms among our students.

Kuthir Silpa, a unit under KTT, offers training in tailoring to underprivileged individuals to help them become self-reliant and self-sufficient. Upon completion of the training, we provide financial support to individuals for procuring sewing machines. Along with this, we offer marketing assistance to help sell the products. So far, we have successfully trained and empowered 150 individuals through this initiative. We are grateful for the support of IGF (Initiatives for Growth) and JGVK (Joygopalpur Gram Vikash Kendra) in making this program possible, allowing individuals to acquire valuable skills and achieve financial independence.
