We envision a world in which every child attains the right to survival, protection and sustainable development and every adult is ensured the dignity of life.
To help the child achieve its fullest potential enabling participation and contribution to all aspects of life, and to reach out to the aged and needy with empathy and support.
Bengal Service Society believes that each child irrespective of socio-economic, ethnic, cultural or intellectual background has its own potential. Given the right environment and adequate opportunities, these children are capable of remarkable achievements. The children suffer a feeling of exclusion in the schools and the result is isolation and finally this may lead to the children dropping out. Our aim is to give them good education and encourage them to stand on their own feet.

Shubhojit Mondal came under the care of Bengal Service Society as a child. He lived in Prem Chand Boral Street with his mother. He was orphaned as his mother passed away and was rescued by Childline and put under the care of CWC. Along with other orphans, Shubhojit was sent to the Open Shelter project of Bengal Service Society under WCD department. He was admitted to a local primary school. He was a quiet and obedient boy. He kept to himself busy with drawing and studies. After a year, Shubhojit was sent to the residential unit of Cossipore Boys'school under SSM also run by BSS. Here too he made a mark by his diligence and desire to make it big in life. Shubhojit scored a First Division in Madhyamik with letter marks in two subjects. Since he has no one to call his own, BSS took special permission from the school and SSM to continue staying in the hostel and studying HS in a reputed school in North Kolkata. All his educational expenses are borne by BSS and we have the conviction that Shubhojit will succeed in setting an example and making us proud.

Nayan came to the residential unit of Cossipore Girls run by Bengal Service Society under Sarva Siksha Mission when she was in Class V. Her father had separated when she was very small and the mother brought her up with a lot of difficulty as she earned a meagre amount by singing in local functions. Nayan being extremely talented immediately became the favourite of her caregivers. She was not only good in studies but could sing and dance equally well. Obedient and polite she took up a lot of responsibility in the residential home and was very popular among her juniors. Nayan participated in all cultural programs and her role as Arjun in Tagore's Chitrangada won hearts all around. Nayan passed Madhyamik with Star marks having secured letter in four subjects. Her score was the highest among all the twenty five residential schools in Kolkata. She was awarded by Sarva Siksha Mission. Right now she is doing her Higher Secondary from a reputed school in South Kolkata. She is on scholarship which covers the cost of her studies. BSS is glad that it got the opportunity of developing Nayan.
