Rural Geriatric Care [Started in Mar 2024]
After a decade of urban geriatric care, we've extended our mission to rural Bengal. We trained local women in geriatric care for 6 months, equipped them with medical gadgets (pressure, blood sugar, weight, and temperature monitors) and with bicycles for easy commute. These dedicated caregivers now visit 500 seniors aged 65+ monthly, spending 30 minutes with each, monitoring vitals and offering emotional support. In just four months, this initiative has created strong bonds, with seniors eagerly anticipating visits. This project aims to enhance the mental and emotional well-being of our elderly community, ensuring they feel valued and cared for. Increased the coverage to 750 seniors in 2025 and survey after an year of operation shows intended benefits being relaized.

The Urban Geriatric Day-Care Project [Started in 2023]
Seek & Connect collaborates with the The Geriatric Association to provide a research based project that runs a day care for marginalised and impoverished elder women from the slums of Mukundapur, West Bengal. It is a self funded program and donations are raised through the Give portal. The funds are used to provide food, enhance the quality of life by engaging in vocational training, medical facilities, therapeutic intervention and entertainment activities.
This year [2025] we started working with them to channelize their creativity to marketable products. We are exploring if we can create an opportunity of income generation.

Empowering Rural Bengal with AI [Oct 2024 to Jun 2025]
Over the past six months, we've embarked on an exciting journey to generate income for the women of rural Bengal. By connecting with a company specializing in training data for generative AI, we've opened up new opportunities. This company needed help to reach deep into rural areas, and we leveraged our local connections to bridge that gap, motivating and training the participants. 💡
Participants, equipped with a multilingual app, are contributing to AI training data without the need for English proficiency. By working from their smartphones for a few hours for a task, they're seeing a substantial supplemental income, earning about ₹500 per task, with a potential of ₹2,000 over six months. 📱💰
This initiative is lighting up a path for AI in rural India, showing that technology can indeed empower and create new avenues for growth. We’re excited for what the future holds! 🚀​​​​​​

From Cash-Strapped to Thriving [Started in 2025]
We met some incredible self-help groups (SHGs) in Basirhat who had cracked one big code: how to produce exactly what the market wants. By hiring their own marketing person, they secured orders first and then produced—a self-sustaining model! But they faced another hurdle: a lack of working capital to buy materials and scale up.
That's where our "Empowering Rural Bengal with AI" project stepped in. They channelized the income from here to boost the working capital and saw the benefits. We then worked with them to create a financial model, understanding exactly what they needed to unlock their full potential. The solution? An interest-free loan to boost their working capital.
The results, just in the first quarter, have been phenomenal! 🚀
✅ 3x increase in production
✅ Greater empowerment and stability for the SHGs
This is what happens when smart strategy meets community determination. We are so proud to be a part of their growth story!
