About Friends Utsarga Welfare Self Help Foundation – Charity & Non Profit Organisations in Kolkata
We are based over in the Dhapa area, near Tangra, at Ashoke Majhi’s place in Jankalyan Jalpara. It’s a very busy, industrial part of Kolkata. There’s always noise from the trucks and the workshops nearby. We are a self-help group made up of friends who wanted to do something useful for the neighborhood. Our office isn't anything special. It’s just a room with some basic furniture where we gather to plan our activities. It’s often a bit cluttered with papers, tea cups, and supplies. We don't have a fancy lobby or any staff in uniforms. It’s just us. We spend a lot of our time talking to the people who live and work in the Dhapa area. Since it’s an industrial spot, there are always things that need fixing or people who need a bit of support. We don't have a big marketing strategy or a polished image. We just do what we can with the resources we have. Sometimes we have long meetings where we don't always agree, but we eventually figure it out together. It’s a very grassroots way of working. We aren't doing this for the recognition or any awards. We just live here and want to see things get a little better for everyone in the area. If you come looking for us, you’ll find us right there in the heart of the community, usually busy with some project or another. It’s honest, simple work that we’ve been doing for quite a while now. We like it that way.
