TILJALA SHED

Tiljala SHED was created in 1987 by a handful of youth from Tiljala realizing the needs of the people living with misery, suffering, and hardship in their day-to-day fight for survival, struggle, identity, and dignity. It was formally registered in 1993 and it was also successful in obtaining FCRA in 1994 and other legal registrations in the following years. All legal compliances are up to date and reflected in public domain and can also be found in the website of the Home Ministry, Govt. of India. In the late 1990s government granted a proposal on rehabilitation of street children from the Ministry of Social Justice & Empowerment, Govt. India and anti-child labour program, supported by Ministry of Labour, Govt. of India. Slowly and steadily Tiljala SHED expanded its areas of operation to other parts of Kolkata where people are suffering from vulnerability and hardships.
