Suchana Uttor Chandipur Community Society
We are a community organisation working since 2004 at the grassroots on rural poverty, focusing on education and health with the most excluded people: adivasi indigenous people and scheduled castes.

We work to:
- Model and promote quality in education, making the best of local and external resources. We believe that providing poor quality education to the poorest people is not acceptable.
- Develop teaching and cultural resources supporting the education and identities of the indigenous adivasi children who are the large majority at Suchana.
- Support creative work and creative thinking.There are a host of reasons why life is a challenge for these children. To survive our newly globalised world on their own terms, they will need to find creative ways to tackle social problems. Suchana’s education framework seeks opportunities for children to take initiative responsibility, and nurture resourcefulness.
- Sustain healthy bodies for healthy learning and healthy lives. This involves working on nutrition, sanitation, health knowledge, and access to health care through our health workers.
- Promote social equity, gender equality and community leadership through change at all levels. We prioritise analysis, discussion, and change of everyday actions in our everyday lives.
We work in six villages in Birbhum, West Bengal. Our 19 member community-based Executive Committee currently employs 8 paid session teachers, 5 volunteer teachers and 2 health workers.
