About Us
Based in Kolkata, Santoshpur Tribal Development and Human Watch Society was founded in the year 2015 under the Societies’ Registration Act, West Bengal. The Projects taken up since the inception typically focused on relief oriented work, small ventures towards distribution of academic materials, extending relief works during the pandemic time in the Amphan and the Yaas affected regions of Maipith Island, Sunderbans, and distributing relief materials to economically struck wage earners during the pandemic.
Few of Our Sites
As is the case with many indigenous people worldwide, centuries of facing inequalities, marginalization and encroachment of their space have shaped the life of tribal communities in India. They live in difficult areas, relying primarily on subsistence agriculture and forest produce. The government’s tribal welfare measures have not reached all of them, and many lack access to education and opportunities to excel.

Encourage healthcare promotion
Disaster management and development of alternative livelihood among the affected communities
Making scopes for sustainable climate resilient livelihoods using organic methods
Local Level Awareness Building To Reduce The Use Of Chemical Objects In Livelihood Practices To Make A Green World
