Amazing Indians: Debabrata Ghosh: Grassroots soldier

Debabrata Ghosh has been working for 26 years with the Santhal tribal community in the Burdwan district of West Bengal to include them in India's growth story. Be it education, health, arts and culture, women empowerment or infrastructure there is not a single aspect of their lives that Debabrata Ghosh has not touched upon and improved. He started the 'Damodar Adibasi Development Society', with the sole objective of social and cultural evolution of this tribe. In order to create rural women empowerment he started teaching craft work using jute. After decades of hard work, hundreds of young girls are preparing carpets, jute bag and masks and earning a living for themselves! A mentor and a teacher, Debabrata Ghosh dons many hats with ease. This Amazing Indian has contributed immensely to the cause of the Santhals and is not ready to hang up his boots anytime soon.
