Relatives and friends of late Mrs Geeta Basu organized a get together followed by a Seminar on 16-12-2017 at Turiyananda Hall, Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture, Gol mPark, Kolkata from 2 to 6PM.
Mrs Geeta Basu, wife of Dr A K Basu, a distinguished surgeon of Kolkata, initiated the process of approaching the Govt for a piece of land to set up an institution for the rehabilitation of the Blind. She had been a pioneering social worker with an advanced educational background and an exposure to Western Culture. In 1970 she motivated her friends & wellwishers and set up Welfare Society for the Blind, east of Majherhat Bridge, Kolkata. At that time the city of Kolkata had only three Blind schools and hardly any center for the training of the adult Blind.
Applying her innovative mind she opened various employable training programs and music programs for the Blind
