About Us

Social Touch And Reform

Social Touch and Reform is a dedicated organization committed to creating positive social change. With the support of kind-hearted individuals, we engage in various social services, including medical assistance, disaster relief, education support, and empowering marginalized communities. Our mission is to uplift society and inspire lasting transformation through compassion and service.

With the blessings and token monetary support of Humanitarian as well as kind-hearted two ladies Senior Citizens Smt. Anupama Das of Baranagar (Kolkata-36) and Smt. Bharati Mallick of Gariahat Road (Kolkata-29), some Service-holders of Govt. & Private sectors, Business-class persons, Pensioners, Agency workers, Self-employed Person, Private Tutor, and some house-Wives, – all they together initiated this Organisation ‘Social Touch And Reform’ that started rolling on Social Work field in January 2005 and that still works determinedly with its very limited Resources. Although this NGO had to bid goodbye to those two ladies Senior Citizens who already have left this human world. Now we carry their Inspiration as Candles in the never-ending ‘Relay Race’ of Social Work; we Float as Streams on a sea of Social Work as their Inspiration flows as current and sparks us to move more and more.

Since its inception in 2005, Social Touch and Reform has engaged itself in various social services, for the cause of the downtrodden section of the masses. When the entire world was affected by Covid-19, we involved ourselves in helping people who were deprived of medical attention, and concerned have-nots in post-natural calamities like Yaas, Amphan, etc. It also helped to continue education for students and extended financial help to Covid-19 patients. Our main concentration now is to build our Dream Project “TANPURA” which will be a Residential Shelter for Women as well as for Senior Citizens, a place where women will be provided support to stand on their feet being self-independent and where Senior Citizens can live happily so that they will feel comfortable for rest of their extended lives.

‘Struggle for Survival’ has been with this Organisation since very first 3rd day of Jany.2005. Members’ Subscriptions and Well-wishers’ Donations are still the only monetary resources. All Programmes of the Organisation have been materialised at the cost of the collected resources of its Members. But, to run all the noble programmes with only own resources for indefinite period of days is next to impossible for any Organisation, Tiny or Giant . The Organisation is now trying for financial assistances from Govt. Wings and also from Corporate Sectors.
