NEW LIFE CENTRE

What NEW LIFE CENTRE does

New Life Centre (legal name: New Life Centre, Sarberia) is a faith-based charitable non-profit organization operating in the Sundarbans delta region of West Bengal, India. It delivers a portfolio of six integrated rural development programs: the Fr. Ante Gabric Memorial School (Bengali-medium with English as second language, currently up to Class VI and being upgraded to high school level); a Vocational Training Centre offering cutting, tailoring, and embroidery courses for underprivileged women (established 2011); a Leprosy Consultancy service providing counselling, MDT treatment referral, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and socio-economic rehabilitation; an Environmental Health program covering sanitation, hygiene, nutrition, and pollution awareness; a Handicapped Welfare service offering orthotic, prosthetic, and podiatric care; and a Upliftment of Spiritual Values program that encourages moral development across faiths without caste or creed discrimination. The organization is led by Mr. Alindra Naskar, traces its mission legacy to Croatian Jesuit priest Fr. Ante Gabric who served the area from 1945 to 1988, and has operated from Sarberia since relocating from Purulia in 2005.

The organization does not sell products or services commercially; its revenue model consists entirely of charitable donations and sponsorships, solicited principally through The Big Give online giving platform and direct community engagement. It employs approximately 10 staff, maintains a WordPress-based website (newlifecentre.org) as its primary digital presence, and operates from a single headquarters in Sarberia with no subsidiaries, no parent company, and no disclosed institutional investors. Target beneficiaries are underprivileged children, rural women facing conservative social barriers, leprosy patients, orthopaedically challenged individuals, and families of school children — all located within the Sundarbans delta. There is no proprietary technology stack, no app, no API, no AI/ML component, and no data-flywheel mechanics; service delivery is human-led and community-embedded.
