Lalpur, Bodra Ashram

This project is situated at Lalpur, Bodra village near Kendpur which is about 35 Km. from Malda town. This project was started in 1982 with  donation of land measuring 2.00 Bighas Bastu Land and 14.00 Bighas agricultural land from Smt. Karna Mani Sardar w/ o Late Mukul Chandra  Sardar in Malda district. A two storied kutcha building alongwith single storied building consisting 9 rooms was constructed to run 6 classes, office and hostel for the project. One Shiv Mandir was also constructed where people gather for worship regularly. This project is situated in a  very poor area. This project was initially started by Vishva Hindu Parishad, Malda with the help of various trusts and is now handed over to  Manav Seva Pratisthan to run and develop the same. We laid soling & concrete flooring of rooms, varandah and passages partly this year.We plan to construct 3 class rooms and 5 hostel rooms with matching facilities.

  • School : Primary School is being run since 1992. The present strength of students is 135 with 6 Teachers and 1 no. Non-teaching Staff.
  • Hostel : Hostel is also being run since 1997. The present strength of the students in hostel is 17 who belong to scheduled caste and scheduled tribes. 85 more students’ accommodation is required in view of the increasing demand in the area.
  • Physical Training : Students of the school, hostel and of the nearby villages are participating in various physical training programmes.
  • Agriculture/Gardening : Students are imparted training in Gardening.
  • Drinking Water : A well and a tube well was sunk which is also used by the villagers apart from the Ashram inmates due to its light & digestic  quality of water. The water gets contaminated during rainy season since these facilities are old. Hence, there is need to sink a new Tube well for  drinking water.

Proposed Activities :

  • Presently there is part pucca flooring in the rooms, passage and verandah. We need to complete the same before rainy season starts.
  • There is requirement for 3 more class rooms and 5 rooms for Hostel to accommodate increasing number of students. More over we plan to increase one class in each year till we reach to class VIII from the present level of class IV.
  • One Tube well is required as the water of the previous facilities gets contaminated in the rainy season.
  • Goshala : One Goshala is to be started with 5 cows for which a shed with provision for storing fodder etc. need to be built.
