We were nothing, but a young generation spending most of the time at ‘Parar more Adda’ (Hang out at the corner of the neighborhood), ‘Cha er Dokan e Adda’ (Gossip at Tea Stall). But then it was the occurrence of one incident that changed our path when the Malda district was devastated due to uncertain floods in 2017. The Phulhar River had almost touched the extreme danger level, inundating a number of villages and the people were forced to evacuate their own homes and take shelter at higher lands. The misery and cry rolled out in whole of the district which was then we, as the face of Anirban, Susanta, Prasenjit, Krittibas, Sanjoy, Kartick, Saikat, Soumen realized that rather than spending the time at ‘Addas’ it was imperative and the need of the hour to help the people suffering day and night and drive our energy in such constructive work.
WHO WE ARE
The Idea:- With the philosophy of ‘reach up to action’, we incessantly started moving ahead and initiated the relief work. We went from door to door and collected the contributions from the individuals.
That was a first milestone we achieved successfully. And it was a born of a new idea of ‘Mallabhum Prayas’. We don’t have any expertise or experienced, but we have zeal, passion and motivation to bring social change.
Since 2017, Mallabhum Prayas continue our journey. So far, Mallabhum Prayas is an organization registered under Society Registration Act under West Bengal. Basically, Mallabhum Prayas is a unit of social work for those who believe that ‘intelligence and experience for social work is not required but should have empathy and kind heart and working within communities can bring the change’. Our motto is “With the people, For the People”.
