An ngo based in Chetla, Kolkata , Mohor Foundation focuses on providing education for the children from families of the low income group for whom education is curtailed for the limited opportunities they have . With the two coaching centres , the one in Kolkata and another in Khajurdaha , (Hooghly) their aim is to reach out and provide them with the educational support they need. They do go to government schools but are unable to provide themselves their educational needs such as the tutorial classes. Their main focus is to support these children in the above areas. They not only educate them but also counsel them regularly to build a healthy platform for their better future; they plan to promote each student according to their potential. They also wish to provide a separate institution where various departments could cater to the willing student. In the last 9 months the children have been actively involved in various activity programs such as Cleanliness drives and Sapling Plantation.
Along with educational support, Mohor Foundation is responsible for providing day care hostel facilities for the students as well as Medical facilities and Family Counselling . Their main aim is to inculcate healthy atmosphere in the minds so that they do not astray . Local clubs, residential co operatives do come forward in their own minimum way and help support these initiatives.
Ngo’s such as this one have a team of dedicated members who help reach their goal inspite of all odds and scrutiny .It definitely seems like a long order but if more likeminded ngos join hands and dedicate themselves for these deprived children and then we can say the society will definitely be a better place to live in. Education will deter juvenile crimes and sex related offences, addictions will considerably go down.
At present, including the two centres Mohor Foundation has a total strength of about 121 students with strength of 8 volunteer teaching staff. They give hope to children from families that are truly needy and who have little or no means to help them survive. Their main purpose and responsibility is to serve the society by serving its children. Hence this foundation might just brighten up their lives and give them some joy.
