The Growth and Development Foundation (GDF) is proud to announce the opening of its third centre in the vibrant city of Kolkata, marking a significant expansion of our commitment to education and community development. The Salt Lake Centre, our fifth branch, stands as a beacon of hope and progress in the heart of Salt Lake, a bustling hub that reflects the spirit of Kolkata.

This new centre is not just a building; it's a promise—a promise to extend our educational outreach and touch the lives of many more children in diverse parts of the city. The Salt Lake Centre, though in its nascent stage, is already pulsating with potential. It is a testament to the generosity of our community, with the entire bungalow being graciously donated by Mr. Ramakant Beriwal, a well-wisher whose vision aligns with our mission.

As we look at the current statistics:

  • 44 bright students ready to learn and grow,
  • 4 dedicated teachers committed to guiding them,
  • 2 enthusiastic volunteers eager to support,
  • We see more than numbers; we see the future leaders of our society. The centre is equipped with a playful area and regular puppet shows, ensuring that learning is not just an academic exercise but a joyous journey of discovery. These innovative teaching methods have been designed to foster a love for learning, ensuring that education is accessible, engaging, and fun.

    Our dedication to nurturing the Salt Lake Centre is unwavering, and we are filled with optimism for its future role in our overarching mission. We envision a place where every child's potential is recognized and cultivated, contributing to a brighter future for our community and beyond. Join us in celebrating this new chapter for GDF as we continue to empower through education. Together, we can make a difference.
