Tiljala Society for Human&Educational Development

About us

Tiljala Shed is a non religious, non political grass root level non government developmental organization working for the underprivileged and marginalized people of Kolkata especially the Rag Pickers community which have been neglected and socially ostracized by the civil society. Tiljala Shed seeks to empower and transform the Rag Pickers from the life in rags into a kingdom of sunshine. Apart working for the Rag Pickers development, Tiljala Shed also works hand in hand with various other vulnerable groups and communities who are vulnerable and marginalized. Tiljala Shed is currently running two shelter homes one in Park Circus in which street and working children are taken care. Secondly, Tiljala Shed is running a new residential shelter home in Bhangur (South 24 Parganas) for the children coming from Rag Picking families and who have been involved in drugs, crimes, abuse. Currently 25 children are staying in this children's home.
