Supporting those in need is his calling; Kolkata-native Rama Prasad Roy is committed to help the underprivileged and marginalized with all he has, Sulagna Sengupta writes

Helping Hand for the Poor

Helping the poor is like therapy for Rama Prasad Roy, resident of Dum Dum in the bustling city of Kolkata. A former assistant general manager at the State Bank of India, the values inculcated in him by his family during childhood affected Roy in the best way possible. As someone who has believed in helping the underprivileged and downtrodden ever since he was a child, it comes as no surprise that the sexagenarian has gone the extra mile to offer the poor a helping hand whenever he is able.
