Spread the love

I am Malay Pit. My story is not just my own — it’s a reflection of the hopes, hardships, and resilience of rural India. Born in West Bengal in a humble farmer’s family, I grew up facing many challenges. But even during the most difficult times, I never stopped believing in the strength of my people. I dared to dream — not just for myself, but for everyone around me. Over the past three decades, I have dedicated myself to empowering rural communities through education, healthcare, skill development, and social reform. This is my journey — from being a farmer’s son to a humble nation builder.

My Early Life: Strength Born Out of Struggle

I was born on 18th May 1974 in a small village in West Bengal. My father, Late Mr. Bhairab Chandra Pit, was a hardworking farmer, and my mother a devoted homemaker. I grew up helping my father on the farm, where I saw the hardships of agrarian life up close — unpredictable weather, long hours of toil, and constant financial uncertainty. Later, when I worked as a labourer, I faced the harsh realities of discrimination and exploitation. These experiences shaped me. They made me realise that I did not want to spend my life trapped in poverty. I knew I had to break the cycle — not just for myself, but for many others like me.

Awakening: My First Step Toward Change

Soon after passing my Madhyamik (Class 10), I felt a deep calling. I had seen the pain and suffering of the tribal communities around me — caught in poverty, trapped by social stigmas, and unaware of their own potential. Their pain became my purpose. I founded the Kurumba Adivasi Society to begin my mission of change. I worked closely with villagers — educating, training, and empowering them to lead healthier, more dignified lives. That was my first real step toward social development. That experience sparked in me a lifelong passion to serve.

From a Small Room to a National Movement

In 2003, along with a few friends, I rented a small room and started a training institute. That small effort grew into a movement. Today, I am proud to have established over 100 skill development centres and more than 50 educational institutions. More than 10 lakh individuals have been trained, and over 5 lakh have found jobs through our placement network. My students now work in some of the best organisations in India and abroad. And this is just the beginning.

Institutions that Empower: Education at the Core

I believe education is the most powerful tool for transformation. That’s why I’ve worked tirelessly to build:

  • 2 Medical Colleges

  • 1 B.Tech College

  • 3 Diploma in Engineering Colleges

  • 25 ITIs

  • 7 Nursing Institutes

  • 5 Paramedical Colleges

  • 7 B.Ed. and D.El.Ed. Institutes

These institutions don’t just offer degrees — they provide opportunity, confidence, and a brighter future to thousands of rural students.

Healthcare for the Common Man: ₹10 with Dignity

Affordable healthcare is a right, not a luxury. That’s why I built a 1,100-bed charitable hospital that treats thousands of patients every day for just ₹10. It brings me immense joy to see people receive treatment with dignity, without worrying about the cost. This is not charity — it is a responsibility I proudly carry.

Women Empowerment: Creating Entrepreneurs, Not Dependents

Empowering women has always been central to my mission. I have helped hundreds of women become successful entrepreneurs, giving them financial independence and social respect. A society grows only when its women are empowered, and I am proud to be a small part of that change.

Building Cities of Hope

While many build institutions, I dreamed of building ecosystems. I have created two fully developed educational cities — complete with colleges, hospitals, hostels, and community centres. These cities are not just campuses — they are centres of hope, where young minds and communities grow together.

Reflections: What My Journey Means

What makes my journey meaningful is not the number of institutions, but the lives changed. From a labourer to a social entrepreneur, I have seen both pain and purpose. I never imagined that the child who once worked in the fields would one day build educational cities and hospitals. I have not done this alone — I am only a medium. The real strength comes from the people, the communities who trusted me, walked with me, and believed in the dream of a better life.

Conclusion: My Mission Continues

Today, I stand not with pride, but with humility. I know there is still so much to do. Rural India still needs voices, support, and vision. I am committed to continuing this journey — with my people, for my people. I am Malay Pit — a farmer’s son who dared to dream, and who will never stop walking the path of service and transformation.
