About Brikkho Foundation:
Brikkho Foundation is a non-profit organisation in India working towards social welfare through food donation programs for underprivileged children, environmental sustainability initiatives, cleanliness drives, bird conservation projects, affordable food access programs, and clothing support initiatives. Our community-led approach ensures meaningful, responsible, and lasting social impact across vulnerable communities.
We envision communities where basic needs are met with dignity, the environment is protected with responsibility, and compassion is woven into everyday actions. Brikkho Foundation strives to expand its impact through stronger partnerships, deeper community engagement, and sustainable initiatives that create lasting positive change.
Through our initiatives, Brikkho Foundation has supported children, families, and communities by distributing nutritious meals, planting and nurturing trees, conducting cleanliness drives, installing bird nesting spaces, enabling dignified access to affordable food, and providing essential clothing. Each project reflects our commitment to responsible social action and meaningful community impact.
Meet Our Founder: Somnath Ghosh
A Dream Rooted in Nature
Somnath Ghosh founded Brikkho Foundation with a simple dream: to make Santiniketan—and eventually all of India—greener, cleaner and more compassionate. Growing up surrounded by Santiniketan's natural beauty, Somnath developed a deep connection with trees, birds, and the environment. He watched as rapid development threatened the very nature that made Santiniketan special.
Building a Community Movement
Somnath's approach was different from typical NGOs. He didn't want to create a top-down organization. He wanted to build a community movement where everyone—from school students to senior citizens—could participate. He started by planting trees. Then organizing cleanliness drives. Then feeding hungry children. Each initiative grew organically based on what the community needed most.
Leadership Through Action
Somnath doesn't lead from an office. You'll find him at plantation drives, community cleanups, and food distribution events—working alongside volunteers, getting his hands dirty, showing that environmental work isn't glamorous, but it's essential. His commitment to transparency, community participation, and measurable impact has made Brikkho Foundation a trusted name in environmental and social work.
