For over four decades, Keshab Chandra Chakravarti Smriti Raksha Samiti has stood beside the people of Howrah — donating blood, restoring sight, sheltering the homeless and building futures, one act of service at a time.
Run entirely by members and volunteers and powered by community generosity and CSR partnerships.

Founded in 1983 in loving memory of Keshab Chandra Chakravarti, our Samiti carries his name forward through deeds, not words.
What began as a small group of neighbours organising a single blood donation camp has grown into one of Shibpur's most trusted welfare societies. We believe that real change happens locally — at the bedside of a patient who cannot afford surgery, at the roadside on a freezing winter night, in the classroom of a child who deserves a proper school.
Every rupee donated and every hour volunteered goes directly toward people in need. We keep our work transparent, our overheads low, and our doors open to everyone who wants to help.
A compassionate society where no person is denied healthcare, dignity or opportunity because of poverty — and where neighbours look after neighbours.
To deliver direct, dependable relief in healthcare and welfare — through blood donation, eye care, cataract surgery support, winter relief and community development.

The Samiti was established by family, friends and well-wishers to honour Keshab Chandra Chakravarti's lifelong commitment to his community. His belief — that small, consistent acts of kindness change lives — remains the foundation of everything we do.
Today the organisation is guided by a dedicated managing committee of volunteers, medical advisors and community elders who give their time freely.
Every figure here represents a real person helped — a life saved, a sight restored, a winter survived.
Four flagship programmes run year-round, supported by camps, awareness drives and one-on-one assistance for families who need it most.
📷 Blood donation driveOur longest-running programme. We organise regular blood donation drives in partnership with local hospitals and blood banks, mobilising donors across Shibpur and Howrah to keep critical stocks ready for emergencies and surgeries.
📷 Night-time blanket distributionOn the coldest nights, our volunteers walk the streets, railway platforms and shelters of Howrah handing out warm blankets to homeless and roadside families — bringing not just warmth, but the assurance that someone cares.
📷 Eye screening campFree community eye-screening camps bring qualified ophthalmologists to neighbourhoods that rarely see them. We test vision, prescribe spectacles, and identify patients who need further treatment — paired with awareness sessions on eye health.
📷 Health Check-UpKCCSRS organizes weekly free health check-up camps at its registered office, providing essential services such as blood sugar testing and blood pressure monitoring to promote preventive healthcare and community well-being.
📷 A free medical dispensaryThe dispensary continues to serve the community with compassion, offering medical consultations and basic healthcare support to thousands of beneficiaries over the decades.
📷 Patient registration for cataract surgeryFor economically weaker patients diagnosed at our eye camps, we facilitate full cataract surgery — coordinating hospitals, covering costs and arranging follow-up care. Thousands have walked in blind and walked out seeing their families again.
Our flagship CSR-supported initiative — the construction of a new school building at Tantiberia Sarada Sishu Mandir — funded in partnership with India's leading public sector enterprises.

📷 For thoseGenerations of children in Tantiberia learned in cramped, unsafe rooms. Together with our CSR partners, we are constructing a modern, safe and spacious school building — giving these children the dignified learning environment every child deserves.
Beyond the current building, we plan to add a modern library, smart classroom, computer lab and a mid-day nutrition support programme — turning Tantiberia Sarada Sishu Mandir into a model rural school. We welcome new CSR partners to help us complete this vision.

After my cataract surgery arranged by the Samiti, I can see my grandchildren clearly again. I had lost hope — they gave it back, free of cost.
I've donated blood at their camps for years. It's organised, dignified and you can feel the genuine care. This is what real service looks like.
Volunteering on the winter blanket drives changed how I see my own city. Handing warmth to someone on a freezing night is a feeling I can't describe.
