Touch World

Touch World is a non-profit social organization dedicated to working with the inmates of the Correctional Homes in West Bengal with the sole objective of helping them to restore their lives and integrate them into mainstream society in practical sustainable ways. The inspiration and moving force behind TOUCH WORLD is Smt. Alokananda Roy. A trained classical danseuse of international repute, Alokananda has performed all over the world for the last 50 years, collected numerous awards along the way and now dedicates her energy and creativity to unusual social projects. Alokananda has been working with correctional facilities in Alipore, Midnapore and Presidency in West Bengal since 2007. Beginning with weekly recreational therapy of music and dance, Alokananda has expanded this to a major activity wherein the inmates now perform full-length dance dramas and ballets in public. TOUCH WORLD is also fortunate to have Mr. B. D. Sharma, former Additional DGP and IG Correctional Services, West Bengal as the Chief Advisor.
