NGO empowers deprived children in Kolkata

Kolkata-based DIKSHA has been working towards the uplift of children in red-light areas since 1999.

Paramita Banerjee’s NGO has positively affected the life of 9,000 children till now.

In Kolkata, the red-light areas of Kalighat, Khidirpur and Munsiganj have seen numerous women and children being trafficked over the years.

That’s where DIKSHA steps in. The non-profit organisation has been working with deprived children and youth to protect their rights and resolve issues related to gender and sexuality.
