Moyna Ramkrishnayan Association | Dedicated to Service & Humanity

Brief history behind the foundation of Moyna Ramkrishnayan Association

Genesis and Inspiration
Our organization emerged from the visionary leadership of Sasanka Maity, a dedicated social reformer and native of a remote village in the Moyna Block of Purba Medinipur, West Bengal. Deeply inspired since his student days by the humanitarian ideals of Sri Ramakrishna, Holy Mother Sri Sarada Devi, and Swami Vivekananda, he dedicated his life to rural community development.
The Early Journey & Foundation (1984–1990)
1984 (First Steps in Service): After completing his higher education, Sasanka Maity joined local flood relief operations with the Tamluk Ramakrishna Mission. Through years of hands-on social work and training with local organizations, he developed deep expertise and confidence in grassroots rural development.
1990 (Establishment): He co-founded the Moyna Ramkrishna Association alongside Jayasri Maity, a dedicated government nurse. In the initial phase, her crucial financial support enabled the organization to effectively translate national-level welfare initiatives into reality at the village level.
Major Milestones & Decentralization
2002 (Empowering Children with Special Needs): Mobilizing local youth and women, the organization established a permanent residential special school for marginalized children with special needs (Divyangjan).
Sustainable Growth: Over the years, numerous community development projects were launched. To decentralize operations, improve infrastructure, and maximize local impact, several sister organizations were created under his guidance.
Our Legacy and Vision Today
Across over four decades (42 years) of selfless service, transparent governance, and unwavering leadership, Sasanka Maity’s tireless efforts have earned the deep trust, faith, and respect of the local community. Today, our organization remains firmly committed to carrying forward this rich legacy of social responsibility, dignity, and sustainable rural empowerment

Self-Reliance Achieved through Roasted Peanuts by Ritusree Bhunia and Pinki Bhunia

In Ayodhyapur village, Deshapran block, Purba Medinipur district, the Tripti Women’s Group, comprising women from disadvantaged backgrounds, faced significant economic challenges and struggled to support their children's education. To address these issues, Kajla Janakalyan Samity introduced various income-generating activities. Ritusree Bhunia and Pinki Bhunia decided to launch a roasted peanuts business.

With a ?60,000 loan from Kajla Janakalyan Samity, Ritusree and Pinki began roasting and packaging peanuts. As their business grew and additional family members joined, their income increased, enhancing their socio-economic status. The success of their venture enabled them to support their children’s education and create employment for 20 other women in Ayodhyapur village, who now earn ?3,000-4,000 per month.

The survey helps assess learning levels across rural India, providing crucial data for education policy development.
