Jonka Bharatmata Tarun Association

You will find Jonka Bharatmata Tarun Association over in the Howrah district. We are based in Jonka, and Deb Kr Roy is the main person here. Howrah is always moving and noisy, but our little corner is a bit different. We aren't a corporate group with a big board of directors. We are just an association of local people. Our office is a small building that has seen better days, but it serves its purpose. We have some benches and a couple of tables where we handle our business. It’s a very informal environment. People drop in without an appointment all the time. Deb usually has a bunch of papers he is working through, but he always stops to listen. We don’t have a marketing team writing about us. We just do our thing in Jonka and let people decide for themselves. The walls have a few old calendars and some photos of local events. It’s not a polished look. We don't use a lot of complicated English or technical terms. We just speak plainly. Sometimes the power goes out, and we just sit outside in the shade and keep talking. It is a very human way to run things. We are just a group from the neighborhood who wanted to do something for the town. We don't make big promises, we just try to be here when someone needs us.
