Calcutta Marudyan (Oasis in Bengali) Society was formed in 1998 by volunteer workers and active members of society.

In 2013 the charity Marudyan-UK was formed. Marudyan-UK’s objective is to raise funds for the projects of Calcutta Marudyan.
John visits India regularly to see that the projects keep making progress. We are a small energetic society working at grass-root level with very little overhead.

Mr. Sethi, a long time volunteer is the present society secretary
Dr. Vijaya Daing, who joined us as president, has been a vital part of the Society since the start.
Mrs. Kamlesh Agarwala has been a long time secretary of our society since the start. This post is more recently filled by Mr. Sethi, who has been a volunteer and coworker in the project for many years.
Then there are our friends and volunteers who stand by ready to give a helping hand when the need arises.
A very special ‘ thank you’ to our Sponsors, who are the wheels under our vehicle that could not move without your generosity. Your giving and good wishes will not be forgotten but are recorded in the eternal. It is our prayer that your deeds of kindness will be rewarded accordingly with good health, happy family life and prosperous business ventures. THANK YOU!
Of course none of this is possible if it was not for the teachers and their overseers from all backgrounds, who work on the projects mostly part time for a minimal wage. Their desire is to help bring education to those who otherwise might not have the opportunity is extraordinary. THANK YOU!
