Srijan Realty Partners With Mukti NGO to Build Disaster-Resilient Homes Under CSR Initiative

Kolkata, June 3, 2025: Srijan Realty, Kolkata’s leading real estate developer, has collaborated with Mukti, a well-known NGO, to transform the housing needs of the vulnerable communities of Sundarbans with the recent CSR initiative #EkGharAisaBhi. With this initiative, Srijan aims to create disaster-resilient homes for the vulnerable communities frequently affected by natural calamities.

The Sundarbans has been facing recurring challenges from natural disasters like cyclones, floods, and tidal surges, which often devastate homes and livelihoods. Despite such hardships, the community’s resilience and determination to rebuild their lives remain unwavering.

Under #EkGharAisaBhi, disaster-resilient homes in Purbasridharpur village, located in the Mathurapur-II block of South 24 Parganas, have been constructed. These homes are designed to withstand cyclonic winds up to 150 km/h and floodwaters up to 15 feet, ensuring the safety of residents during extreme weather events using eco-friendly and sustainable construction techniques that are cost-effective and replicable across other cyclone-prone areas in West Bengal and other parts of India.

Key objectives of the initiative include:

• Ensuring access to safe shelter for every individual in vulnerable villages
• Safeguarding lives and livelihoods from cyclonic destruction
• Promoting sustainable and eco-conscious building methods
• Offering cost-effective housing solutions with uncompromised safety
• Creating livelihood opportunities through training and capacity building for local residents
• Developing a replicable disaster-resilient housing model for wider implementation

“The people of the Sundarbans have shown extraordinary courage in the face of adversity. Through #EkGharAisaBhi, our goal is to offer not just homes but hope that stands strong when everything else gives way,” said Keshav Agarwal, director, Srijan Realty.

“We believe in development that uplifts and protects, and we are grateful to Mukti NGO for walking alongside us on this journey. Recognition from the Times Business Awards, WB 2025, only strengthens our resolve to scale this effort further.”

Srijan Realty’s commitment to society goes beyond this initiative with ongoing efforts in education, healthcare and environmental conservation. The #EkGharAisaBhi project reflects the company’s dedication to make a positive impact on society and contribute to the resilience of communities in the Sundarbans.
