Kumudini Welfare Trust of Bengal (KWT) was founded by the great philanthropist Rai Bahadur Ranada Prasad Shaha (R.P. Shaha) in late 1930s. R.P. Shaha came from an ordinary family of East Bengal (now Bangladesh). He earned great reputation and huge wealth in his life time, but donated his entire wealth not keeping anything for himself or his family and formed the Trust to serve the common people particularly women in the field of health and education, and women’s empowerment irrespective of caste, creed and religion.
