How KMF was founded
Karuna Mind Care Foundation is a dream project of Dr. Amitabha Mukerji (Son of Dr. Karunamoy Mukerji), Senior Consultant Psychiatrist, practicing for last 35 years in Kolkata. He was greatly inspired and motivated by Swami Vivekanada’s “shiv gyan ey jeev er seva” & “Bahujan Sukhaye Bahujan Hitaye” philosophy!
This idea was implanted in his mind by his father since childhood. Keeping this idea in mind, he founded KMF few years back to specifically serve the Senior Citizens to aid and improve their psychological well-being. Because of socio-economic and various other reasons, the joint family system has collapsed and has given birth to the concept of nuclear families and now ultra-nuclear families. As a result, senior citizens are increasingly becoming lonely and psychologically insecure and helpless.
KMF started working with these senior citizens and started a Self-Help Group few years back. Once a month, meetings are organized to exchange ideas, discuss viewpoints & problems with other members so that they can share, care and empower themselves psychologically.
They also get involved in various cultural activities e.g. Reading, Writing stories, Poems, Singing, Reciting poems etc. Everything is done with an aim to make them happy and less lonely.
KMF has also initiated a new activity named “Spiritual Day Out” wherein Senior Citizens meet at a pre-designated place and board our vehicle for a day-long tour of various spiritual centres. During the day-long trip, they spend quality time with each other, have lunch together, sit together for a while, Exchange different ideas among themselves. This once-in-a month journey is fully funded by Karuna Mind Care Foundation.
