West Bengal, a state in eastern India nestled between the Himalayas and the Bay of Bengal, is home to several dedicated NGOs working tirelessly across various sectors to create a better society. These organizations focus on diverse fields such as education, healthcare, environmental protection, human rights, and rural development. Over the past few decades, many Indian NGOs have gained strength and recognition through their impactful initiatives. While only a few have achieved significant societal impact, numerous others continue to serve the community with unwavering commitment.
