A Bengali monthly paper on nature and the environment

Geographical Location
Kolkata, West Bengal

Genesis: This initiative was started in the year 1999 by Mr. Anish Gupta, Mrs. Malabi Gupta and Mr Aminur Rahaman. This initiative was born out of the idea that students in the suburban areas and districts of West Bengal, studying in government schools, did not have access to information about nature. Thus through this monthly publication in Bengali, children would learn about the environment we live in and various issues like global warming, dwindling forests and wildlife and cultural diversity. Today, the paper's circulation in the state has crossed 3500. The Sarbik Siksha Parshad of Howrah district is a major subscriber.
Achievements: This initiative has been highlighted and appreciated in newspaper articles (The Telegraph, Ananda Bazar Patrika etc)
