About Us

Banchbo is the Bengali expression for survival.

Banchbo Socio Cultural Association was started in 1995 when some like-minded college students from different backgrounds came together blending youth with progressive thought and approach to education and medical services.

Though a long way to go, over the years Banchbo has established itself as a highly respected organisation through deliberated selfless efforts to uplift the most deprived & marginalized section of the society in all aspects.

Why Banchbo

Banchbo has over the years developed into a reputable NGO with a strong desire for contributing towards the development of a healthy, poverty less and universally developed India. Beginning its journey in the year 1995 with a few like minded college students, Banchbo today has touched the lives of many. It now boasts of a growing number of enthusiastic members under the management of Governing Body composed of well placed members of society and with active guidance of enriched Advisory Board and is looking forward to a successful future.
