livelihoods, and environmental care.
Gadapathar Bhimpur Santar Jaudge Jiyer Gaonta works to strengthen tribal communities in West Bengal through education, sustainable livelihoods, environmental stewardship, and interfaith cooperation. The group supports children to return to school, provides nutrition programs, and offers skill development and employment opportunities for youth and women. It also promotes horticulture, sustainable agriculture, aquaculture, tree planting, and eco-friendly income generation, including the production and marketing of organic manure.
Rooted in a diverse community of Hindu, Muslim, and Indigenous traditions, the group sees interfaith cooperation as essential to building mutual respect, communal harmony, and collective action. Its achievements include establishing fruit orchards, creating local employment opportunities, promoting sustainable livelihoods, and receiving a national award for sustainable development. The Cooperation Circle seeks to build self-reliant, environmentally conscious, and inclusive communities where tribal people can thrive with dignity and greater opportunities.
