In 1975 the Ministry of Women and Child Development introduced a centrally sponsored scheme of cottage foe destitute children with the objectives to provide institutional services i.e, shelter, food, clothing, education, medical care, recreation etc to the destitute children. As per the scheme, the cost of the Programme was shared among the Govt. of India, State Govt. and Non-Govt. Organisation in the ratio of 45:45:1. But in 1992 it had been transferred to State Sector Scheme and since then 90% of the entire cost of the programme is being borne by the Govt. of West Bengal and remaining 10% by the Non-Govt. Organisation. The State Govt. is yet to formulate a scheme of its own regulation the matters of cottages. A lot of Vol. Organization is involved in running cottages in different districts of West Bengal and it has been felt necessary that a State Sector scheme should be formulated at the earliest in order to regulate the matters relating to cottagers. As there are no such cottage (Home) for Boys in the Malda District therefore we started this Cottage. This cottage was inaugurated by Smt. Indrani Saha, ADM (D), Malda in presence of Sri Kajal Bandhapadhyay, ADM (MZP), Sri Prafulla Kumar Dey, D.S.W.O-Malda, Sri P. Singha Roy, D.P.O (ICDS) on 15th July, 2009.
