The year 2013*14 has been very eventful and passed quickly, week by week, month after month with exciting activities all over we have began our journey for the service of mankind many years ago.

It is indeed pleasure for me in involving myself, once again, with various ongoing activities of JADAVPUR JEEVAN JYOTI FOUNDATION.

As one of the foundation members of JADAVPUR JEEVAN JYOTI FOUNDATION, I used to share my thoughts, vision and common dream of making JADAVPUR JEEVAN JYOTI FOUNDATION, a peoples organisation, a platform for meeting of the poor, for their own upliftment, a platform for interfaith and multiracial amity, a platform for inter * party solidarity for the betterment of the common people of the country and thereby of the World.

The collective hard work of development partners along with women, men and children has given new hope and determination to go ahead with forward march for much better individual and community life, in friendly environment, free from ill health, illiteracy, unemployment and exploitations.

1 am deeply touched by the dedication and sincere services rendered by the every member and non member by the dedication and sincere services rendered by the management committee. May their services be more successful in the coming years by the Grace of the God.

Since I was named Secretary from the inception itself. 1 have had the immense privilege of working with some of the finest developers in education, health, and women empowerment and may other aspects and supporting their work with whatever fund was available. I am enormously appreciative of the opportunity presented to me. 1 am confident that the responsibilities as rewarding and 1 will provide outstanding leadership. "We tend to bet on people even more than the project itself." Hence, we have concentrated the resources whatever it may be that have come to us from on programs of women empowerment, community health, ami trafficking, micro credit endeavour, water and sanitation and various other developmental projects.

On the whole the Organisation have confidence that we its active workers participation and it's their knowledge about the community has improved our organisations motto. Committed as we are to the wisdom of the research community, we have on our own initiative identified several geographic regions for special attention. The first is our home village in Kolkata District-, where we have expanded a bit of our definition of "development" to include selected "health, education, women empowerment, water and sanitation and overall community health" reform and dissemination projects. We feel a particular obligation to be helpful to the village that supports us. particularly as it wrestles in an imaginative manner with urban society.

Finally, we have extended our international efforts in seeking grant programs to prepare the next generation of community health programmes in Kolkata.

We are trying to work collaboratively with several other foundations. A perplexity that continues to challenge us understands the dynamics of health practice. We have supported charitable dispensaries that focus on school community health concept, others that concentrate on acquisition of knowledge in social dispensary, and many that combine the two. We have encouraged doctors from various fields of practitioners and traditional researchers, as well as combined teams of both. As we predicted when we began this focus, responding to strong encouragement from the field, the fund, which we seek, will not answer definitively or in the shortgun all questions about the nuances of community health practice* Ours will be an ongoing development, immensely richer in capturing the reality of community health and other developmental programmes. Much remains to be done in educational, community health, water and sanitation, women empowerment, gender issues and right to justice, and I am delighted that my colleagues at the JADAVPUR JEEVAN JYOTI FOUNDATION are dedicated and have rendered their valuable time in the organisation difficult time.
