Live 4 Help Foundation’s In-Person Interaction with Beneficiary Students in 2025
The Live 4 Help (L4H) Foundation believes in the power of face-to-face interactions to build strong relationships with students and motivate them to achieve their full potential. In December 2025, three core members, Tarun Maiti from Delhi, Ramkrishna Sadhukhan from the USA, and Asis Das from Kolkata, embarked on a five-day tour of West Bengal and Jharkhand to meet and support students.
The primary objective of these meetings was to review the students’ progress, address any challenges they might be facing, and understand their aspirations. Additionally, the team aimed to assess whether any additional facilities or support were needed to enhance their performance and morale.
On December 20th, the L4H team visited the Bankura District of West Bengal and met with Shatarupa Mandal, who is pursuing her second year of MBBS. at Bankura Sammilani Medical College. She expressed determination to make the most of the limited resources and facilities available on campus and assured us that her efforts, coupled with our support, would not go in vain.
The following day, December 21st, the team travelled to Purulia town and met Shubham Pandey, who is pursuing a PhD at the University of Florida after completing a master’s degree from IIT, Chennai, and Hriday Pramanik, who is progressing well in his Engineering studies. After detailed discussions about their studies, the team visited their homes to meet and encourage their parents, who were extremely delighted to see us.
On December 22nd, the team visited Trimurti Public School in Chas, Bokaro, where they met seven students: Ayush Kumar, Sakshi, Kushi Kumari, Riya Raj, Md. Taslim, Sahiba Kaur, and Price Kumar Jha. The team interacted with each student individually, reviewed their progress, and provided advice on achieving their goals. The Vice Principal of the school, Smt. Razia Sultan, was found to be very cooperative and supportive of both the students and L4H.
On December 23rd, the team moved to Madhupur and visited Anandalaya Public School in Jharkhand and had detailed interactions with seven students: Abha Kumari, Punam Kisku, Rakhi Kumari, Jeenat Parween, Subhani Parween, Mahin Parween, and Puja Kumari. While the students were generally doing well, they expressed concerns about their proficiency in English. Virtual classes on spoken English were suggested as a potential solution to help them immensely. The team also felt that periodic reviews and regular interactions would boost their morale and build a sense of accountability.
In Kolkata, the team met with five students: Satyabrata Patra and Subhankar Das from Belgharia R. K. Mission Student’s Home, and Rohan Dwari, Babita Giri, and Sudip Das from East Garia Educational Institution. Jayanta Guin, one of our sponsors from the USA, accompanied the team to meet with Rohit Dwari, whom he is supporting, as well as other students from East Garia Educational Institution. The team’s goal is to connect students with their sponsors to provide first-hand experiences.
Overall, the team connected with 22 students, reaffirming L4H’s commitment to these interactions. They were pleased to learn that some students aspired to become IAS and IPS officers, while others were keen on pursuing higher studies.
