1. Primary School
Sree Satyananda Prathamik Vidyalaya,

very backward area inhabited by poor people. This primary school is expected to
accommodate about 200 children in the beginning for character oriented education. The
details are being worked out for running and adminstration etc. The building will cost
about Rs.12 lacs. Contruction is progressing fast with the courtesy of Sri K.D. Saraf and
others devotees.
2. Water Filtration Plant For Supply of Arsenic Free

arsenic prone, this unique Water Treatment Plant is being erected with the help and
expertise of Rotary Club of Central Calcutta. This will provide arsenic free drinking
water to about 2000 people daily. The cost is estimated to be about Rs. 6 lacs.

for common diseases with doctors of Paediatry, Cardiology, General Medicine, ENT and Eye

villages with population of 25,000 people will be covered. This is an urgent need of the
area.
4. Herbal Honey Research
Center With
Bee-Keeping
Production of Herbal Honey in the Herbal
Honey Research center of Mahapeeth has been a successful achievement qualitatively. Though
in small quantity several types of honey is produced which is proving helpful to cure many
diseases. One such product is ‘Milk Honey’ which has been found a sure cure of
anemia and lately a great help for patients of Thalassemia. The frequency of blood
transfusion is reduced. Patients with regular administration of milk honey have shown
remarkable signs of recovery under observation of Dr. A.N. Dutta, President of Bengal
Haematological Association. Qualified Doctors and scholars are seriously engaged in
Research work to explore the greater possibilities of Herbal Honey as curative as well as
preventive medicine. This area of work requires a minimum capital of Rs.2 lacs at the
moment.
5. Construction of abode for retired
