Due to socio-economic reasons almost 75% of the children in Chota Bankra,   Bara Bankra, Kaijuri, Aturia and other rural areas in North 24Pargana, West Bengal, India are deprived of education. Owing to sheer ignorance and poverty, parents here seldom send their kids to school, instead the children are engaged in household or agricultural activities .Though some kids attend school, the number of school-dropouts is terrific (almost 65%). Generation after generation, the adults here remain uneducated, are gripped by poverty, suffer from worse health condition.

Quality health is a distant dream. Here 70% of the newborns are significantly underweight and 60% of the women are anemic. Personal hygiene and safe sanitation is being practiced by merely 40% residents of these areas .Malnutrition, scarcity of good drinking water, inadequate medical infrastructures, ignorance of family planning make these areas unhealthy to the core. In this remote region women are deprived of basic human rights, face domestic violence at regular basis, do not have any access to information, are vastly illiterate, economically vulnerable, get married at teenage, dowry deaths, female infanticide, and premature pregnancy are very common scenario here.

These rural people are unaware of safe drinking water, pollution free environment, importance of birth, marriage, and death certificates. Due to ignorance and lack of communication skills, they are very often deprived from the basic needs of life, marketing inexperience and lack of technical know-how deprived the villagers to get best evaluation of their work.
