Bikash Ranjan Memorial Foundation

We set up this foundation in M Rampur near the college colony area. It's named after Bikash Ranjan and we’ve been here for quite some time now. Panchanan Pradhan is the person who really keeps the gears turning in this office in Kalahandi. People around here know the spot and they often drop by just to say hello or ask a quick question. It’s not a big fancy office with glass doors or anything like that. Just a simple place where we try to get things done without making a huge fuss. Madanpur Rampur is a quiet place for the most part, which we like. We've been working from this building for a while now. Sometimes it is hard work and the days get long, but we keep at it. We don't have a lot of staff or people helping out. It’s mostly just us. We look after the memory of Bikash through the various things we do. Orissa has its challenges, especially in rural spots like ours. We just take it day by day and don't worry too much about the future. If someone needs help, they usually know where to find us. Our address is 766102 if you're looking for where to send the mail. We don't use much technology and the paperwork gets done on an old wooden desk. It is simple. We aren't trying to change the whole world. Every morning we open the doors and see what the day brings.
