Who We Are
In the year 1992 a group of socially aware educated youth came forward to recover the faith of the youth community towards life. With this end in view they organized themselves under the leadership of present Secretary Mr. Biswajit Bose. We started some voluntary actions for the development work in Old Malda Municipality and Block area of Malda district. The beginning was so easy as it seems to be, through there was a common urge for growth among the people of these locality and establishment of this organization which has helped them to realize that they have to work for the development. In the year 10th January 1994 it became registered under West Bengal Society Registration Act. 1961. It was aimed at upgrading the socio-economic and cultural condition of the people by using indigenous resources and to aware about the critical health needs. So that various programme were undertaken and implemented successfully and some are still continuing. In the meantime we are aiming for working by our FCRA Registration.
The efforts of MSS is supported and assisted by various resources sharing agencies including Government Departments both at the state as well as National levels and International etc. The organization has a group of 16 competent full times & 4 Part time workers including professionals, activities and staff out of which 7 are women and the 7 men members.
