On 8th March 2007, Alokananda Roy was invited to the Presidency Correctional Home to celebrate Women’s Day. She found young men with vibrant energy aimlessly moving around with no hope or zest for life. And she wondered – ‘What if any of them was her own son! Thus started her ‘Love Therapy’… returning hope into the lives of these boys and girls through dance. Since then, Ms. Roy has been training the correctional home inmates in dance and staging dance dramas wholly performed by them under her guidance.
She has involved herself in helping the little children and helpless aged parents of the inmates, who have nowhere to turn to.
Today Ms. Alokanada Roy is “Ma” to the inmates of West Bengal Correctional Homes.
For her passionate efforts to get the correctional home inmates re-established in Society, for setting an example of true Motherhood and Love- Ms. Alokananda Roy, “Ma” of the inmates of Correctional Homes of Bengal is a Suthol Pathikrit.
Dr. Apurba Ghosh
In a country where about 19,000 children under the age of five die every day, mainly from preventable causes ( UNICEF -2011 Report ), providing accessible medical care to children is more than a necessity…. specially for the children whose parents cannot afford costly healthcare.
Under Dr. Ghosh’s stewardship Institute of Child Health is today one of the leading post graduate institutes for paediatrics and medical research and a place where parents from any strata of society can avail treatment for their child at a bare minimum cost.
