Rooted in Nandkumarpur & Joykrishnpur, beside the Mirdang River, at the edge of the Sundarbans.
About the Sangha
A grassroots family, growing with its villages
Nandkumarpur Joykrishnpur Milan Sangha is a community development organisation born from the soil of the Sundarbans delta. What began as neighbours helping neighbours has grown into four institutions serving education, health, skills and sustainable rural living.
Community first
Every programme is designed with villagers, not for them — decisions grow from the gram sabha upward.
Sustainability
River, mangrove and field are our partners. We build livelihoods that protect the delta we call home.
Trust & transparency
Open accounts, open meetings, open doors — every rupee and every hour is accounted to the community.
Our Units
Four institutions, one living ecosystem
Each unit answers a need the community named itself — together they form a complete path from childhood learning to healthy, skilled, sustainable village life.
