"Society often believes that persons with disabilities only seek help. I want to change that narrative—we can offer help too."
Gungun Foundation: Born from Courage, Driven by Compassion
Gungun Foundation is more than just a registered trust organization; it embodies our collective hope, passion, and unwavering commitment to serving society. The name "Gungun" holds a profound meaning, symbolizing the joy and harmony that comes from collective efforts to create positive change. It resonates with the rhythm of life and the melody of compassion, encapsulating our vision of nurturing and empowering lives. This name reflects the essence of what we strive to achieve—sowing seeds of happiness, fostering growth, and uplifting communities.
The hearts and minds behind Gungun Foundation's mission
Founder
At the heart of our journey is Mr. Shubhajit Bhattacharya, who lost both hands at the age of 13 in a tragic electric shock accident. But he didn't let his disability define him. With grit and grace, he rebuilt his life through education, earning a Master's in Social Work and dedicating over a decade to uplifting thousands of families across India.
His story is one of unshakable will—from modifying his own bicycle and scooter to regain independence, to being honored with the IGNOU Innovation Award, India Book of Records, and the Corona Warrior Award for selfless service during the pandemic.
Behind Every Change-Maker, There’s a Team
