In North 24 Parganas of West Bengal lives a homegrown social worker Swapan Mukhopadhay.
Mama to the children in his destitute home, Swapan is a real hero.
Swapan started Centre for Communication and Development (CCD) in 1994 after he saved 365 Indian children from Saudi Arabia who were used in camel racing. It was then that he realised that he had found his life's calling.
Swapan's children home in Madhyamgram was set up in 2001. But unlike any other home, this one goes beyond providing food and shelter. The children are encouraged to dabble in the arts - painting, music, photography and even filmmaking.
And if you are wondering how filmmaking fits into the lives of the underprivileged children, Swapan has a simple answer.
