Mr. Mrinal Kanti Bhanja

Gopali Youth Welfare Society (GYWS) was established with the objectives of making people aware of problems faced by the modern society. It also aims at helping people's social, economic and cultural development and encouraging them to find out solutions to their problems on the basis of locally available resources.

Ms. Suparna Mondal
Former President, GYWS

Since its establishment in 2002, Gopali Youth Welfare Society has successfully launched and carried out several training and develooment activities in and around the Gopaili. In the past we have established rural libraries providing vocational training to the people from under-privileged section of society beside carrying out several awareness generation programs. We express our gratitude to them and our well wishes.

Prof. Partha Pratim Chakraborty
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.

Mr. Sailesh Gandhi (IIT Bombay, ’63 batch)

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.

Mr. Roy Da Silva (IIT Kharagpur, ‘74 batch)
Former President, IIT foundation

I would like to recognize Gopali Youth Welfare Society at IIT Kharagpur at which I 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.

Prof. H R Tiwari
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.

Prof. N R Mandal
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.
