It is a charitable trust registered with the Government of West Bengal working for the transformation and development of the society with the unique concept of serving the community through community resources, especially community manpower. The community volunteers are trained to deliver socially relevant projects to ultimately achieve behavioural changes. Focus is laid mainly on sustainable issues such as eradication of poverty, illiteracy, preservation of environment, nature and development of art and culture.
Satyam Roychowdhury Foundation is driven by a strategic direction to involve the youth, the most fertile soil in whom the seeds of a bright future are sown. Thus, the youth must be empowered with responsibilities to become the change-makers. Senior students of Techno India Group Public Schools as well as from various high schools across the country are trained to become trainers and social influencers for bringing about the desired social changes. The foundation facilitates the process by setting up Local Area Development Centres in the empanelled schools. The activities of the Foundation include establishing and running educational and vocational training institutions, creating public awareness about health, hygiene, sanitation, environmental pollution, as well as establishing social engineering centres in rural and urban areas.
Satyam Roychowdhury Foundation is working towards upgrading the skill base and employability of marginalized youth both in urban slums and rural areas. The current programs are:
Mr. Satyam Roychowdhury began his journey more than three decades ago. When all his friends were busy trying to find a job, he decided to do what most Bengalis find difficult to do. He decided to venture into the uncertain world of business. There was a dearth of private engineering colleges in West Bengal at that time. As a result, many meritorious students relocated to other states for higher studies. This was resulting in a brain drain of the state. Unsure about what the outcome of the venture would be, he tried with whatever precious little resource he had. There were hurdles, there were hardships and days of ordeal, but he was determined. Along the way, his efforts were complimented by his family, nourished by his group of friends and made meaningful by thousands of students that made Techno India Group their institution of choice. He considers learning to be a lifelong process and firmly believes that those who have been milestones on his way are the reasons for this successful journey. For him, amidst all the complexities of life, there is an endearing lesson to be learned from the simplicity of familial love, their constant support and encouragement.
