The Calcutta Foundation Academy

The Calcutta Foundation Academy is proposed to be functional very soon to look after the educational needs of young girls and boys who lack the wherewithal to do so. A knowledge centre has been proposed, which will impart Information Technology and Music courses for the young adults from the weaker sections of society. This will later be extended to other fields of art.

With generous contributions from The Children’s Fund, USA, the Japanese Government and corporate houses, the computer centre should be ready for use by December 2001, in a modest building south of Behala. Computers for this Academy have been donated through the efforts of Dr Mrs Geeta Mehta of Tokyo.

Zensar, Pune, has trained two young musicians from the CFO who will return to Calcutta to head the Computer Section of the Calcutta Foundation Academy.

Patronage of benefactors from all over the world is sought to help us maintain this Academy.
