Recognizing outstanding commitment towards providing low cost health care for economically challenged, chronic renal failure patients, LSG’s Charitable Trust Award was presented to Kolkata Swasthya Sankalp. They achieved the remarkable feat of providing dialysis at only fifty rupees per session as well as pro bono sessions commencing March 2023.
The Ladies Study Group Charitable Trust Annual Award Scheme was initiated in 1975, commemorating the International Women's Year to give recognition to initiative and merit in field of social work. The Award is presented in recognition of an institution or individual's outstanding contribution and commitment to helping the underprivileged. The Award not only provides financial help but also recognizes their selfless dedication towards bringing change by overcoming debilitating circumstances or physical challenges.
The LSG 2020 award honoured and supported the outstanding initiative, and the selfless dedication of charitable institutions and non-government organizations, working towards uplifting the underprivileged sections of society. This year's theme was recognition of exemplary work done towards the welfare of women and children in exceptionally challenging times.
The prestigious LSG Charitable Trust Award for the year was given to 'Calcutta Rescue', spearheaded by Mr Jaideep Chakravarti. He shared that their organization served the poorest communities in Kolkata and its surrounding districts. Their beneficiaries including pregnant and children needing medical aid, were acutely distressed due to the pandemic. They reached out to them through novel initiatives, including mobile school vans for young children who lacked the resources to go online.
Chief Guest: Sri Keshari Nath Tripathy, Hon. Gov. of West Bengal
Award ceremony began with a melodious opening performance – a soulful rendition of 'Mile Sur Mera Tumhara' by musician duo Sourendro and Soumyojit, saluting the differently-abled students of the Indian Institute of Cerebral Palsy, The Calcutta Deaf and Dumb School and girls from the NGO 'Ektara', for their courage and determination against all adversities.
Hon Governor of West Bengal, Sri Keshari Nath Tripathy presented the LSG Charitable Trust Annual Award 2017.
Ms Mallika Dey, recipient of the LSG Charitable Trust Award, began her journey selling batashas and by dint of effort and perseverance improved her financial condition.

The LSG Charitable Trust Annual Award was awarded to S.A.F.E., an organization that provides clean drinking water to underprivileged communities in Kolkata.

For its 2015 Annual Awards Ceremony, Ladies Study Group Charitable Trust invited nominations from non-government organisations or institutions dedicated to working towards prevention and abolition of trafficking of women and children. The Award was given to Hamari Muskan and was presented by Praful Patel.
For this year’s Award, Ladies Study Group tried to identify an organisation for outstanding dedication in working towards Tribal Welfare. Our eminent panel of Jurists unanimously chose Sundarban Rural Development and Training Centre or SRDTC, Amtola, South 24 Paraganas, for this year’s recognition because of their exceptional work and contribution towards rebuilding a sustainable and self reliant society in the tribal areas of the Sundarbans.
