Microfinance
In the year 2005, Barasat Anweshan started Microcredit program. Self Help Groups (SHGs) are formed each including 10 to 15 women members, majority belonging to Below Poverty Line (BPL) category. Financial assistance is being provided to each member who invests the amount towards Income Generation Activities (IGA). The repayment schedule is made easier for the beneficiaries.
Agriculture and Pisciculture
We have formed few Joint Liability Groups (JLGs) by which recovery of loan is ensured 100%. We realized the necessity of
formation of "Farmers' Club" also in the villages. Members of the club are the landless poor farmers. The members of the
clubs are well active and arrange regular meetings.
Orphanage
Since birth, the first target of Barasat Anweshan became parentless and homeless street children, and ultimately an orphanage
named "Nivedita Home" was built at the Harpara complex. There we are providing shelter, proper education, fooding, clothing and
other necessities, free of cost. We never forget to give them the chances for sports, cultural activities, meditation, health
check-up- everything to build them up to a responsible citizen of our country.
Primary and Advanced Education
Barasat Anweshan realized at its early life that education is the basic
strength of a noble society. Therefore, it has launched
its educational package, which includes Bengali and English medium
schools, colleges and institutions in rural, urban and peri-urban
areas, where necessary.
Women Empowerment
Since 2005, with an intention to help the poor women to get financially
stable, we establish arrange for vocational training. Subjects
are different as and where fits individually such as, Zori work,
Stitching, Jute-product, Pottery etc. Different livelihood training is
also provided like preparation of Vermi-compost. Many of them, after
getting these training programs and the facilities of our microcredit
programs.
Health
Most of the families in the rural areas, where we are working, were
characterized by health unconsciousness and health related
misconception.
As a result, they were suffering from malnutrition, malaria, measles,
respiratory infection and water borne diseases. Infant Mortality, Child
Mortality and Maternal Mortality rates were also high.
Library
Barasat Anweshan started the library in the year 2004 at the city
office, since then many books are taken into stock which are
resourceful.
Beside our students and staff members, we allow all other interested
individuals to read books at their wish. We take few periodicals
regularly
for our readers. Every year we purchase a lot of books for the library
taken into consideration of the public demand. |
