We extend our heartiest congratulations to Smt. Agnimitra Paul Hon’ble MLA and now part of the new Government of West Bengal, and Smt. Locket Chatterjee senior BJP leader and former Member of Parliament, on the spectacular victory of the West Bengal Assembly Elections 2026.
Over the years, both Smt. Agnimitra Paul and Smt. Locket Chatterjee have remained associated with various women empowerment initiatives of Kutchina Foundation, encouraging and standing beside women from some of the most marginalised realities of Bengal.
In one of these memorable moments, Smt. Agnimitra Paul can be seen presenting the Kolkata Hero award to our Kutchina Krittika, a courageous young woman from Kolkata’s red-light area who fought for the education, dignity, and identity of girls and women born within red-light districts.
In another moment, Smt. Locket Chatterjee is seen walking the ramp holding hands with two of our Kutchina Krittikas, one a survivor of trafficking who emerged as a voice against exploitation, and another a young woman from the red-light area fighting for dignity and visibility of women and girls born into exclusion.
These photographs remind us that meaningful social transformation happens when public leaders stand beside unheard voices and journeys from the margins.
Today, as they take on larger responsibilities in shaping the future of West Bengal alongside Hon’ble Chief Minister Sri Suvendu Adhikariji and in the presence of Hon’ble Prime Minister of India Sri Narendra Modi ji, we sincerely hope and believe that the commitment towards women’s dignity, empowerment, safety, and inclusion will continue to deepen across Bengal.
We wish them strength, wisdom, and success in building a Bengal where every woman, irrespective of her social location or background, can move forward with dignity, opportunity, and hope.
