We are a non profit educational charity, involved in education of small children for over 30 years. We have been involved in other activities such as free medical camp. The Trust itself is based just outside Kolkata in Eastern India

Who are we?

Jagadiswar Chatterjee Memorial Educational & Charitable Trust (JCMECT) was legally formed in 2006 with the following aim:

– to make quality education accessible for children of all backgrounds including providing financial support to financially weaker families to educate their children

– to be involved in heath-related charitable activities such as free health check up, free eye check up, blood donation camps etc

The Trust has been running a pre-primary and primary school (Dinanath Chatterjee Kindergarden School) situated in Nischinda, Howrah – about 15 kms from the centre of Kolkata. (See ‘Dinanath Chatterjee Kindergarten School’)

We provide scholarships and other kinds of support for education of children from economically weaker families through our Trust.

The Trust has also run free coaching centres for students of all ages and institutions.

Our future aim is to expand both our charitable educational and health-care activities.

The Trust was set up and managed by Late Shri Chaitanyadeb Chattopadhyay. In 1984, along with his father, Shri Chattopadhyay set up DNC KG School.

He managed the School until his death in August 2008.

The Trustees

The Trustees are descendants of Jagadiswar Chatterjee – a schoolteacher, who lived in Barisal district of Bangladesh in the early part of the 20th century and Howrah district of West Bengal after the partition of Bengal. Jagadiswar Chatterjee established the school – Dinanath Chatterjee Kindergarden School – in the name of his father in 1984 in Nischinda, Howrah.

The present Trustees are qualified and independent professionals, who have decided to pursue the goal of their ancestors by running the Trust to fulfill certain charitable social aims.
