OUR INITIATIVES
Tackling one of today’s prime concerns- youth unemployment by generating employment! Prayas is our Business Development Initiative.
Every child deserves a chance! A chance to learn. A chance to attend school. Every child deserves an Education. Through our initiative- Jagriti Vidya Mandir, we provide that holistic learning environment.
Why limit ourselves to Gopali when we could help uplift weaker sections of society across the nation? Hence our Expansion Initiative- LIGHT.
A chance for socially motivated students,non-GYWS members, from IIT Kharagpur to help us in our cause.
GYWS is delighted to welcome

Former Director, IIT Kharagpur
Having attended some GYWS events, the determination of
the students to make a change amazes me. This is worth
applause that they have taken the initiative to work for the
underprivileged. | feel privileged to have such students in the
campus who seek to give back to the society. Hope to see
GYWS as well as other students come forward with more
such initiatives.
I was happy to see the diverse activities being taken up by the Gopali Youth Welfare Society. The social commitment being continuously shown by the students and faculty of IIT Knaragpur to share knowledge and time with the inhabitants of Gopali and its surroundings is laudable. I was also impressed with the details of expenditure for the last few years which they have displayed on the website. I wish them all the best and send my good wishes.
Former President, IIT foundation
I would like to recognize Gopali Youth Welfare Society at IIT

found out about when I visited PAN IIT GLOBAL
CONFERENCE 2012 and what I said was about, you have
got to establish a cause you would like to give back to and
I'm extremely happy this organisation exists within IIT Kharagpur
campus.
Ex-Professor, Department of Humanities and Social Science, IIT Kharagpur
Society is purely the extension of ourselves. Though we stepped in 2l® century there are still several bleak aspects remain in our society especially in the developing countries like India. Illiteracy, poverty, lack of health consciousness, lack of social consciousness, lack of worldly knowledge are major arnong them.Out of these sacred some of the educated youth grouped together to do something in the field and GOPALI YOUTH WELFARE SOCIETY came into being.
Ex-Professor, Ocean Engineering and Naval Architecture, Ex-Dean SA, IIT Kharagpur
The fact that a group of students of IIT Kharagpur run a fully-fledged NGO leaves me filled with immense pride. As an advisory committee member of GYWS and having closely observed all their activities. They are breaking the trends which see IITians aiming at bagging high salary jobs as soon as they enter the campus. These people are contributing back to the society and their contribution is making a difference.
