Our journey
Journey of Impact
FROM RELIEF TO DEVELOPMENT:
In the months following the cyclone response, Ichhe Puran began to formalise its operations and expand its areas of activity. Two complementary tracks emerged: environmental restoration and rural livelihoods on one hand, and community welfare and education on the other. The first agroforestry distributions took place in late 2021 and early 2022, with grafted fruit plants-primarily guava, mango, lemon, and coconut-distributed to marginal farmers in South 24 Parganas. This programme would later expand significantly, ultimately reaching 210 farmers across West Bengal and 20 in Jharkhand. Also in 2022, the organisation held its first Khushir Pujo event-a festive celebration providing clothing, meals, and community connection to underprivileged children and their families in Purulia district. This event became an annual institution, growing in scale with each passing year.
Formalisation and Growth
July 2023 marked a significant milestone with the formal registration of Ichhe Puran as an NGO. This formalisation unlocked new opportunities for corporate partnerships, government collaboration, and grant funding. Within a year of registration, the organisation had secured its CSR registration and engaged multiple corporate partners. In 2023, Ichhe Puran established a Miyawaki forest at Newtown, Kolkata-a landmark project that brought the Miyawaki dense plantation technique to urban West Bengal. The project planted 900 native trees along Biswa Bangla Sarani in Action Area II, creating a self-sustaining mini-forest amidst the rapidly developing urban landscape. In 2024, Ichhe Puran launched the Kriti Pathshala initiative, establishing informal education centres for migrant and underprivileged children working in brick kilns and other informal settings in South 24 Parganas. These children, often excluded from the formal schooling system due to poverty and mobility, found in Kriti Pathshala a safe space for learning and development. The Charcharia Plantation in 2024 became the organisation's single largest treeplanting event, with 4,000 trees planted in a single drive. The same year saw the distribution of 4,500 saplings to rural farmers in Kulpi under the Farmer Empowerment Programme.
SCALING UP
The Lassi Distribution Drive of 2025 reached over 3,000 workers and farmers across Kolkata with nutritious beverages, combining health promotion with community engagement. January 2026 saw the launch of Project Amrit Kund, the organisation's most ambitious water security initiative to date, funded through CSR support from Tega Industries. The project restored a village pond in Samali, returning 4.5 million litres of clean water storage to 250-300 families. In the 2025 - 26 do many corporate CSR implementation like KKR, Techno electrics, Alliance club in collaboration with Grow Billion Trees. The KKR Runs to Root partnership launched in 2025, combining the star power of the Kolkata Knight Riders cricket franchise with Ichhe Puran's plantation expertise to plant over 3,400 trees across Behala and Dakshineswar in Kolkata.
Voices of impact
Faces of Impact
“Jagadis Das, son of Haru Das, hails from Burul Kumar Para in Nodakhali, Burul village, South 24 Parganas, West Bengal. In January 2021, he planted 200 mango saplings with the hope of securing a sustainable livelihood for his family. With consistent care, patience, and the support of his community, his hard work bore fruit-literally. This year, Jagadis's mango trees finally produced their first harvest, yielding a bountiful crop. He sold his mangoes in the local market, earning Rs. 24,000. This income not only symbolises his dedication but also highlights the promise of rural farming initiatives. Jagadis's story serves as an inspiration for others in his village, showcasing how perseverance and responsible farming can lead to tangible success .”

THE MANGO PLANTATION JOURNEY
“In January 2021, farmer SK Manjom from Mapijaddi, Gaja Poali village in South 24 Parganas, West Bengal, embarked on a journey of change by planting 200 mango saplings. Supported by Ichhe Puran, he nurtured these plants with dedication and care, overcoming challenges of weather and resource limitations. Today, nearly four years later, SK Manjom's dedication has borne fruit. The mango trees have begun producing their first yields, marking a significant milestone in his journey. This success has enhanced his income potential and bolstered his family's financial stability. SK Manjom's story stands as an inspiring example of how patience, perseverance, and the right support can transform lives. ”
