Introduction
The Bolpur Project of TSRD was its starting endeavour in the year 1969. Late
Pannalal Dasgupta, founder of Tagore Society for Rural Development started
development work in Bolpur block of Birbhum district through repairing the
embankment of the river Ajoy with the help of local youth.
The Bolpur project of TSRD geo-physically remains within the Chhotonagpur
plateau. Soil type is older alluvial and laterite. The project initiated in
1969 carried on modest interventions by organizing the people for flood
protection, creation of additional irrigation facilities, afforestation,
helping people to become self-reliant by organizing grain bank and other
activities. The project has a model agricultural farm for sustainable
agriculture. The nature of interventions gradually changed at time. The
project coverage now extends to 220 villages. The present focus of the
project is to promote sustainable livelihood of the poorest section of
people of its project command area. The Bolpur Project of TSRD is working
for comprehensive development of the downtrodden people of three blocks
under financial support of different donor agencies, like OPEC Fund for
International Development, Jeniva, state Government of West Bengal and local
collection.
