Sankalpa

Kolkata, West Bengal

It was a lazy winter afternoon in 2006 when the Late Dr K.L Narayanan and Ms. Sarbani Das Roy (Co-founder and Secretary, Iswar Sankalpa) were strolling down A.J.C Bose Road in Kolkata, India. As they passed a huge garbage vat in Beniapukur (an area in Kolkata), a man with psychosocial disabilities in tattered clothes eating from the garbage pile, rooted them to the spot. A reputed NGO had its home just opposite the garbage vat and the organization distributed food to all the hungry and poor irrespective of caste, creed and religion but this man was not availing the food. It made them wonder why?
