In a heartwarming initiative aimed at empowering underprivileged children through education, Unity Small Finance Bank, in collaboration with Mukti, organized a stationery distribution drive for all 88 MSS and 48 MKSS centres.
As part of the first phase of this thoughtful campaign, 359 students from Classes 5 to 10, enrolled in different Mukti Support Schools (MSS) at Krishnachandrapur, Canning-Herobhanga and Bagnan- Natibpur, received essential learning materials from the Unity Bank Officials on 21st August, 26th August and 2nd September. The stationery kits included notebooks, pens, and geometry boxes—tools that may seem simple to many, but hold immense value for these young learners who often lack access to even the most basic educational supplies.
In addition, to support younger children in Mukti Kishalay Support Schools. Starting from Bagnan, Unity Bank representatives distributed art copy, crayons, pencil pouches with pencil, eraser and sharpener to 75 primary-level children. These supplies will soon reach all other Kishalay & Support School centers, bringing joy and educational support to thousands more children.
Mukti Support Schools & Kishalay work hand-in-hand with government schools to bridge educational gaps among disadvantaged students. By supplementing their learning and helping them reach their appropriate academic levels, Mukti is creating a path toward a brighter, more equal future for these children.
This initiative by Unity Bank is a commendable step toward corporate social responsibility and inclusive education. The stationery distributed by them is not just about paper and pens—it is about confidence, dignity, and the belief that every child deserves the tools to learn, grow, and dream.
Looking ahead, Mukti aims to extend this support to all of its support centers, ensuring that every student across its network has access to the materials they need to thrive academically.
Together, Unity Bank and Mukti are planting the seeds of change—where education becomes not a privilege, but a promise kept.
We deeply value Unity Bank’s continued support and heartfelt commitment to empowering underprivileged children through education.
As part of Mukti’s Amplifying Community Voices (ACV) project, members of the Climate Club have set a remarkable example of youth-led environmental awareness. Comprising 35 young members between the ages of 14 and 21, the club is actively working at the community level to address climate change and promote environmental protection through practical initiatives.
Their primary goal is to spread awareness across villages and panchayats and to reduce environmental damage through meaningful action. Already, the club has undertaken activities such as promoting plastic-free panchayats, encouraging water conservation, and raising awareness about the impacts of climate change.
This year, the club has turned its attention to making local festivals and celebrations more eco-friendly. Members observed that in events such as fairs, weddings, Eid, Christmas, Independence Day, and Durga Puja, many materials and practices often contribute to environmental harm. Since pollution is a key driver of climate change, the club has resolved to encourage communities to adopt more sustainable ways of celebrating.
Beginning with this year’s Durga Puja, the Climate Club is engaging with local organizers to advocate for eco-friendly practices. From the choice of materials to waste management, the club is offering guidance on how celebrations can avoid harming the environment. During the festival, members will visit different pandals to monitor practices, and those organizers who adopt eco-friendly measures will be formally recognized by the Climate Club.
Beyond Durga Puja, the club aims to extend this approach throughout the year to other festivals and community celebrations. In doing so, they hope to minimize the negative impacts of climate change while fostering a healthier environment for all.
The members of the Climate Club affirm: “We are all part of this environment, and protecting it is a collective responsibility.”
Mukti believes that such grassroot-level initiatives hold the power to bring sustainable change to rural society. As part of the ACV project, the efforts of the Climate Club stand as an inspiring example of community-driven climate action.
