Charitable trust · Dhanbad, Jharkhand · since 2021
Madhumita Edu Med Foundation serves the underprivileged of Dhanbad and surrounding Jharkhand — in health, education, and the basic necessities of a dignified life.
MEM Foundation serves the people of Jharkhand — with Dhanbad and its surrounding districts at heart — in the basic necessities of life: healthcare, education, and livelihood.
A registered charitable trust, run by volunteers, for families who need a hand held out.
Our journey so far
Since our first act of seva in August 2021, MEM Foundation has kept showing up — one camp, one classroom, one family at a time.
Our work · Healthcare
Every year since 2021, MEM Foundation has held a Mega Blood Donation Camp in Dhanbad — most recently on 7 May 2026 at Geetashree Bhawan, Hirapur, with the Blood Storage Unit of Sadar Hospital Dhanbad, the SNMMCH Blood Centre, and the District Health Committee.
Over the years the camps have moved from a Gurudwara to community halls to college clubs, and drawn first-time donors, women, students, and officials alike.
Our founder, Sri Gopal Bhattacharyya, was recognised by the Jharkhand State AIDS Control Society for the fourth-highest voluntary blood-donation contribution among NGOs in the state, 2021–22.
Our work · Where it started
On 14 August 2021, MEM Foundation took the first step of its seva journey: a Vastra Daan — a cloth distribution — near Barwadda, for families living in bamboo-and-polythene huts and working informal labour. More than forty people, mostly children and women, each received two sets of clothes, with biscuits and chocolates for all.
The months that followed were busy ones: a Thalassemia screening camp for children at PMCH Hospital in September, free medical camps in the bastis, winter woollens for 55 children of a slum school run with IIT Dhanbad, and a blood donation drive on Guru Nanak's birthday — the beginnings of a mission that continues today.
Three needs we serve
The name says it — Edu, Med. Education and medical care, and the everyday dignity that lets a family stand on its own.
Annual Mega Blood Donation Camps, and medical and Thalassemia screening camps for children — the heart of what we do.
Standing with a slum school run with IIT Dhanbad — keeping 55 children from the poorest homes fed, warm, and learning.
Clothes, food, and everyday essentials for families in need — starting with our very first Vastra Daan.
Recognition
The Jharkhand State AIDS Control Society honoured MEM Foundation for the fourth-highest voluntary blood-donation contribution among non-governmental organisations in the state, for the financial year 2021–22.

Our name
MEM — Madhumita Edu Med Foundation — carries the name of Madhumita, in whose memory it was formed.
A foundation born of loss chose to answer it with seva: giving blood, teaching children, and standing beside families who have the least. Its work has grown every year since.
