INITIATIVE FOR PERSONS IN DISTRESS (IPD) is a nascent organization registered under the Indian Trust Act, 1862, born from the collaboration of concerned residents of Baranagar representing various walks of life. Our core mission is to uplift marginalized individuals who have been historically ostracized by societal privilege.At IPD, we aim to complement governmental efforts and address systemic gaps to foster economic and social empowerment. As a part of the maiden run towards its cherished goal, IPD has taken an initiative of distributing books and stationery stuffs to the indigent and aspiring students studying in various schools of Baranagar and its neighbourhoods. About 120 (One hundred twenty) pupils reading in Classes - V to XII have been selected as beneficiaries based on the recommendations received from the head of the respective institutions. Representatives predominantly from the field of academics and administration will grace the occasion. Guardians of the beneficiaries and respectable residents of the locality would be present as audience.
