Purbachal Ananda Foundation has started its humble journey in the year 2005, with 4 parentless children in a mud house at Purokonda, a remote village, 14 Km. from Durgapur and 40 Kms by road from Bankura. Inspiration for the effort came through solemnizing in heart, the message of Swami Vivekananda : “Jibe prem kare jei jon, sei jon sebichey Iswar” – “জীবে প্রেম করে যেই জন, সেই জন সেবিছে ঈশ্বর” by reaching to unreached.

These people are surveyed in above locations for quite sometime and are brought back to the shelters. They are provided with daily food , bed & clothing, medical requirements, entertainment & education and life skill training. The whole projects are in operation and maintained by Purbachal Ananda Foundation in collaboration with local Municipal corporations headed by commissioners un der the aegis of National Urban Livelihood Mission( NULM).

The aim of our organisation is to ensure education for all and providing shelter to the homeless children and aged persons. Apart from this, Purbachal Ananda Foundation aims at empowering women through self help groups, ensuring health, sanitation, drinking water facilities and spreading awareness about the environment and ecology to all.

In the five year period Purbachal Ananda Foundation has worked with the Government of West Bengal to organise literacy camps, provided free coaching centres to the children vulnerable to drop out of school and ensured that economically underprivileged children also have the school accessories and books. It is outcome of the hard work and sincere effort that Purbachal Ananda Foundation received one acre land on lease  from Gouriya Math in Purakanda village of Bankura district, West Bengal. On this piece of land Purbachal Ananda Foundation has built a home for child in need of care and protection. With the limited resource that Purbachal Ananda Foundation has in the form of individual donations of well wishers, these underprivileged children are provided with a much needed shelter, education and health facilities
