Description of Our Community: In Kolkata, you find solace, peace and your true calling. Whether it be the old age community living together celebrating Durga Puja like a strong knit family, or the Anglo Indian community in Bow Barracks decorating their homes on Christmas to show the world their culture still lives. Whether it be the Potter community of Kumartuli toiling in the sun to give the world the most exquisite ceramic pots or the fishermen in Babughat working all day for the fishes that define the city's cuisine. Kolkata has almost different worlds within itself, and you see them collide when we celebrate. Be it a cricket match or the FIFA World Cup, you'll always find a lane decorated with flags, even if it might not belong to our own country. Such is the passion here and such are the lives we lead. The city has the sweetest dialect and even sweeter people. And it all lies in the mutual feeling of finding it our home.

At Lakshmipat Singhania Academy we learn how to interact with local communities and celebrate each of them. It is a true privilege to live among such rich cultures and LSA not only helps us recognise its importance but also encourages us to help those communities. Together, we aim to bring change for those who live near our homes as well as hearts.

Project Description: This year’s theme of Cyber Fair is very close to our heart – Be Kind and Unite. At Lakshmipat Singhania Academy we work on the various aspects of social service from offering meals to the needy to organising blood donation camps. Our students regularly donate cereals, grains, pulses, dress material & books to various NGOs. Students of the academy have stepped out and visited different NGOs and spent quality time with specially abled children to senior citizens.
