About

FTS Yuva Kolkata was established in 2019 with a vibrant and dynamic team of young entrepreneurs and professionals. Since its inception, the team has embraced the responsibility of being flag bearers of the Friends of Tribals Society (FTS) mission and vision. They have actively engaged in various initiatives, including Vanyatras (visits to Ekal Vidyalayas) and a wide range of community engagement programs.

Over the past five years, FTS Yuva Kolkata has gained significant recognition, particularly through its flagship event, the Ekal Run—a major awareness and fundraising initiative. Additionally, the team has successfully hosted national-level FTS Yuva events, such as the Annual Meet and National Yuva Conclave, where FTS and FTS Yuva members from chapters across the country gathered in Kolkata to participate. This commitment and leadership have positioned FTS Yuva Kolkata as a driving force in advancing the mission of the Friends of Tribals Society.

President Note

I first became aware of the Friends of Tribals Society (FTS) in 2009 and was deeply moved to learn that such initiatives still thrive in our nation. In 2015, I began actively participating, and I am proud to be part of a movement that connects directly with the grassroots of our society. 

FTS is not just about education; it is about preserving and imparting our rich Hindu culture to the people at the village level. Through various cultural programs, we help villagers focus on positive aspects of life, such as spirituality and cultural roots, steering them away from distractions like gambling, alcohol, and other detrimental habits. 

The agenda is clear: to strengthen our bond with our motherland and to keep our cultural roots intact while providing educational benefits. I am honored to work alongside the founders of this movement and to contribute to this noble cause.
