Dear all, What an wonderful day I had with four most delightful young people, I met Anup, Madan, Rajib and Kankabati for the first time and I must say I was most impressed with their positivities and their spirits. They were of course bit shy to start with but during lunch they opened up and talked freely. They talked about their apprehension, their aspiration and their joy of their new college lives. I felt so privileged to be a part of their lives and they are of mine. Thanks to you all at MUKTI for making me so welcome and showering me with flowers, gifts, sandesh (sweets) and photo shoot. You all are doing wonderful work serving the deprived communities keep up with your good work. One person I have not met so far is Srijita hope to see her soon.

আম্পান কে এখনও অবধি শতাব্দীর সবচেয়ে ভয়ংকর ঝড় বলেই ধরা হচ্ছে ! তবে আমার মনে হয় বঙ্গোপসাগরে সৃষ্ট শেষ ৩০০ বছরের মধ্যে সবচেয়ে শক্তিশালী ঝড় ছিলো এই আম্পান! যা মূলতঃ পশ্চিমবঙ্গের দুই ২৪ পরগনা,কোলকাতা,হাওড়া, দুই মেদিনীপুরকে সবচেয়ে বেশি ক্ষতিগ্রস্ত করেছে তেমনি আমার নজরে এসেছিলো দক্ষিণ ২৪ পরগনার মৌসুনি আইল্যান্ড !

ঝড় থামার ৩ দিন তারা এলাকার প্রশাসন এবং রাজনৈতিক দলের নেতাদের থেকে আশ্বাস পেলেও কোনো খাদ্য পাননি! ৩ দিন অভুক্ত প্রায় ৩০০ মানুষ! প্রায় ১০০ মতো ২০ বছরের নীচে ছেলেমেয়ে!

অত্যন্ত কষ্টকর এই সময় তারা পেরিয়েছে! আমার কাছে খবর আশার পর বিভিন্নভাবে, জেলাশাসক থেকে শুরু করে বিধায়ক, সাংসদ সবাইকেই বিভিন্নভাবে বোঝানোর চেষ্টা করেছিলাম তাদের খাদ্যের জন্য!

কেউ আশ্বাস দিলেও কেউ কেউ মোবাইল বন্ধ রেখেছিলেন। অতঃপর একজন উচ্চপদস্থ আমলার মাধ্যমে আমি যোগাযোগ করি #মুক্তি অর্গানাইজেশনের সঙ্গে! এই কঠিন বিপর্যয়ে তারা যেভাবে মৌসুনি আইল্যান্ডের অভুক্তদের খাদ্যের যোগানের জন্য রেসপন্স করেছেন তাতে আমি ভীষণ আপ্লুত; গোটা মৌসুনী আইল্যান্ড চিরকাল কৃতজ্ঞ থাকবে!

অভুক্তদের দ্রুত খাদ্য প্রদানের জন্য আমি নিজে মুক্তি অর্গানাইজেশনের প্রত্যেক সদস্যদের ধন্যবাদ জ্ঞাপন করি! শ্রদ্ধা জ্ঞাপন করি!

সর্বোপরি মনে রাখার মতো আপনাদের কাজ; তৎপরতার সঙ্গে অভুক্তদের মুখে অন্ন তুলে দেওয়া! আপনাদের এই কাজে আমি অভিভূত। আমি নিজে আপনাদের কাজে চূড়ান্ত উদ্বুদ্ধ হয়েছি! ভবিষ্যতে আমি আপনাদের সাথে অন্যান্য কাজ করার অাগ্রহ প্রকাশ করলাম!

English Translation Based on Google Translate:

Cyclone Ampan is still considered to be the worst storm of the century! However, I think this Ampana was the strongest storm in the last 300 years created in the Bay of Bengal! Mausuni Island of South 24 Parganas came to my notice as it has mainly affected the two 24 Parganas of West Bengal, Kolkata, Howrah and Midnapore.

3 days after the storm stopped, they received assurances from the area administration and political party leaders, but did not get any food! About 300 people went hungry for 3 days! About 100 children under the age of 20!

The extremely difficult time they have passed! After expecting news from me, I tried to persuade everyone from the district magistrate to the MLA, MP in different ways for their food!

Some assured but some kept the mobile off. Then I contacted the #mukti organization through a high ranking bureaucrat! I am overwhelmed by the way they have responded to this catastrophe by providing food to the starving people of Mausuni Island; The whole Mausuni Island will be forever grateful!

I personally thank every member of the Mukti Organization for providing fast food to the hungry people!

Above all, it is your job to remember; Putting food in the mouths of the hungry with activity! I am overwhelmed by your work. I myself am the ultimate inspiration for your work! I look forward to working with you in the future!

Post our ‘roti-kapda-maakan’ requirements comes the need of knowledge. Knowledge that unveils the cover from the unknown. Knowledge that helps an individual stand in her/his feet. “Education is the biggest leveller of the society” and I too believe ‘Vidya Daan’ is equally important as ‘Anna Daan’. This is a tremendous team work by you people. We donors are so happy knowing you all. You do such hard work that brings immense values in these 100 students life and their families. I am glad to the all mighty to support a program that is run by such dedicated & efficient people. Thank you so much for this status report, FB updates continuous communication. Not only me but other TSS sponsors like Ramesh babu, Dr. Bagchi, Anantha, Aurottam, etc. are all happy the way this program functions. Keep it up, as we scale this program further. Lastly, owing to the great service by you all – MUKTI is getting credit-ability. May the all mighty bestow you all limitless energy to continue run this noble initiative and be successful in your life.

I support Mukti’s latest project, MCDF as I believe in Swami Vivekananda’s saying that upliftment of poor and downtrodden women is the key for emancipation of the nation.

I strongly support Mukti’s project, MCDF. This group effort will help to uplift the socio-economic clause of the underprivileged families in remote villages. Mukti’s endeavor can develop the social foothold of deprived women in rural part of India, which is a great social transfer indeed

I think it is a good opportunity where I can help to empower woman, who needs help to run their household and to provide basic needs for their family.

First of All thanks a lot helping me with a concentrator during the crisis. My Father in law is 75 Years of old and is Covid +ve and is on 24×7 oxygen support. Team Hello Beta listened to my request patiently and sanctioned my request.

When my dady badly attacked by Covid-19 Hello Beta helps to give my dady new life by supplying oxygen Concentrator machine in time. Thank you Hello Beta.

Dear Hello Beta, You saved my mother’s life to be honest. Her oxygen Level was dripping to 78,79 at times and we had no other way but to keep her under continuous oxygen support. we could save her because we got the concentrator in time. Thanks to hello Beta again And I would definetly like to contribute a little to society and those in need
