Every group member’s main motto Is serving the society, making a society where rural
peoples and students have a great role to play, and also making shelter for homeless people,
they make an old age home, an ashram for the orphan child.

It’s a great good initiative by all the group members. And as a student of management
background, I can just say, I am thankful to become a part of this project and try doing a
little contribution from my side to the development of the rural students who don’t have
access to everything. My respect and gratitude to all the group members for making this kind

Purbachal Ananda Foundation (PAF) was constituted by some like-minded

people for the upliftment of the downtrodden & disadvantaged Children of
the society. This mission was emboldened by the saying…

“আপন হতে বাহির হয়ে বাইরে দাঁড়া, বু কের মাঝে বিশ্বলোকের পাবি সাড়া।”

- রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর

The service above selflessness is the motto of our organization. PAF is a not-
for-profit organization and solely dependent on support from Individuals/
Corporates/Associations. PAF earnestly requests all benevolent and kind-
hearted persons to be a part of our journey.
