Medha USA has been proud supporter of BTS for almost a decade. Starting with the initial seed money for a computer center to providing assistance to the elementary school, Medha has witnessed the impressive growth of the students from BTS reach new heights. We have current scholarship programs supporting a number of extremely meritorious students who are pursuing higher education. We have been privileged to mentor and guide BTS students completing challenging graduate and post graduate degrees. Susanta Babu provides us student applications, financial & progress reports with due diligence and courtesy.

Asha Cornell, a chapter of Asha for Education, has been a long-standing partner of Baikunthapur Tarun Sangha. We believe that education is one of the primary factors that shapes a child’s future and by extension, future of the entire country. During the last eight years, we have witnessed BTS blossom as an organization that is truly dedicated to the betterment of local communities in the Sunderbans region. Asha Cornell stands by BTS’ vision of uplifting and empowering young children to receive education and life-changing skills.

BTS has built several community groups in Banashyamnagar and Achintyanagar to discuss issues within their community. Adolescents learn about a range of issues such as gender and sexuality, child protection, life skills, rights available to them, menstruation and related taboos and more. Marginal farmers have explored ways of addressing water shortage in agriculture and received trainings in setting up nutrition gardens. Communities also strengthen the embankments by planting and preserving mangroves. The BTS team on the ground is sensitive to the needs of the people around them and are always keen to learn new things and share their learnings with the other members of the consortium.
