This Model School runs classes from Nursery to 8th standard for children of disadvantaged families in the remote Nandakumarpur region and surrounding areas. People from this area are barely aware of the importance of education. Therefore, education has been a far-fetched dream for the children of this area. Thus, Kishalaya Sishu Shiksha Niketan has opened up with the motive of Integrated Education to the children which not only caters to Formal Education but also builds their technical and livelihood skills. Affiliated to the Education Department, Govt. of West Bengal, the school follows the syllabus of Boards of West Bengal Primary & Upper Primary Education. The lockdown period has shown a importance. 147 children are enrolled in the school in the year 2021-22.

In the poverty-stricken areas of Sundarbans, women and girls remain confined to household core activities without having the liberty to live an independent and self-reliant life. With an approach to prevent the early marriage of the girls from the area; to ensure the girl children’s education of the community; to promote the health status of the adolescent girls in the locality; to accelerate the development process of the society by empowering adolescent girls through development of their leadership qualities, Sabuj Sangha implemented the Nayantara programme in 3 remote Sundarbans villages. Our Nayantara girls have mobilized funds with their initiative and distributed dress materials, books and educational materials to the poor girls using their own funds and also they have also distributed relief materials during the Yaas cyclone.

The health status of Sundarbans continues to remain extremely vulnerable due to remoteness, issues of geographical accessibility, effects of climate changes, and compounding economic vulnerabilities. The devastating COVID-19 pandemic has hit hard in India for the second time in 2021, resulting in massive losses of life and the economy. The poor medical infrastructure, geographical and physical access to healthcare facilities, insufficient outreach, folk-health traditions, religious and social customs and limited financial resources have contributed to the increased difficulties of the improved healthcare system, heavily impacting the lives of the community, especially women and children. Sabuj Sangha aimed towards focusing on access to healthcare facilities for marginalized people; improving the health status of women and children and combating malnutrition.

Rapid urbanization and mass migration in a quest for a better way of life are both contributing to the growth of slums in Kolkata and Bidhannagar metropolitan cities. The lack of essential civic amenities including drinking water, drainage, sanitation, and electricity as well as the absence of healthcare centres in urban slums has resulted in the appalling living conditions of the slum dwellers. With more than 2 decades of experience, Sabuj Sangha launched the project 'Niramoy' which aims to address the overall health issues and better healthcare services to the urban poor in the areas of ward no. 28 of Bidhannagar Municipal Corporation (BMC) and wards no. 79 and 80 of Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC).
