Barnamala Educational and Cultural Society places a significant emphasis on women's empowerment and the development of adolescents. Recognizing the challenges faced by women in its target area, many of whom have limited education, it aims to empower them by encouraging self-employment. To achieve this, the organisation has facilitated the formation of self-help groups and offered vocational skill development training, with the goal of enabling 60% of these women to establish their own businesses, generate income, and become self-reliant.

The organisation runs an Early Childhood Education Centre in Madanmohan village, Changual Gram Panchyat, Kharagpur-II Block. It caters to children aged 3-6 years, providing essential developmental skills through non-formal preprimary education methods. Through activities like dramatics, role play, rhymes, songs, dances, and choreography, it enhances their articulation and communication skills. The centre, with the support of Barnamala Educational and Cultural Society members and volunteers, ensures daily transportation for around 25 attending children from their families.

Barnamala Educational & Cultural Society is dedicated to the welfare of companion and domestic animals. It manages a Goshala in Kantageria Village, Changual Gram Panchyat, Kharagpur-II Block, Paschim Medinipur District, along with a small health clinic for animals. During the reporting period, it cared for 460 animals, including dogs, cows, disabled old bulls, goats, and cats. The organisation conducted 8 health camps in various Kharagpur-II Block villages, where villagers actively participated by bringing 150 domestic and companion animals. These animals received immunization and compassionate care, marking a valuable service to the animal community.

One of the most glaring problems which the world faces today is the environmental pollution. Man has exploited nature excessively at the cost of the development.There is an immediate need to make people aware about environmental degradation. Education and public participation has potential to change and improve the quality of environment. The proposed project concerns a broad environment awareness campaign coupled with tree plantation and advocacy activities to mitigate the rising environmental crisis in Paschim Medinipur District, West Bengal.
