OUR VISIONARY
Dr. Nalinaksha Biswas, a former academic, earned his Doctoral Degree (PhD.) in Environmental Control, Heat & Mass transfer in deep underground galleries from Nottingham University in England. Prior to his retirement, he served as a Senior Lecturer in Building Science at Leeds Metropolitan University for an extensive period of time.
Dr. Biswas, born in 1938 in Sylhet, India (now in Bangladesh), relocated to Calcutta with his family. He remembers the struggles of displaced individuals after partition, particularly the difficulties faced by underprivileged children. This experience instilled in him a strong desire to help underprivileged children, particularly those who are orphaned.
He outlined his ambitions to open a school to educate and care orphan and single parent children in his vision statement and with the help of the Indian Board of Trustees, and utilizing his financial resources he successfully materialized his dreams. With his planning, an orphanage was started in the year 2012 and later an English medium school was launched in the year 2015.

Mission Statement
At TBEF we believe that to provide meaningful assistance to the destitute orphans & the
child in distress is the first & foremost deed towards establishing Happy & Strong social
environment.
We need to understand and address the factors that make the destitute orphans vulnerable
of undesirable exploitations. Our work will be organised with these factors in mind, that we
can establish a seed of love, care & sharing attitudinal traits making the children feel
confident of their regular activities, happily enjoying life facing challenges coming across for
education, health, culture & extracurricular activities, being in a strongly knit family
environment.
This would enable them to be empowered to affect positive, long-term change in their day-
to-day lives as well as while they march ahead in the outside world. We think that
transparency is essential and that our actions should be easily replicable by others.
With this goal in mind, we will always share information on our systems, technology,
deployment strategies and general lessons learned. Not only we will make our achievements
public, but our mistakes as well with hopes that other organizations & individuals join us in a
big way & can learn with us along the way, to speedup the positive steps for the noble
cause.
