The 10th February 2008 was a day of pride for all at Lily Foundation. Mr. Gopal Chandra Pal flew all the way from England to inaugurate Rabindranath Pal Institute at Marjada, West Bengal. Dr. (Mrs.) Mila Pal and Mr. Gopal Pal are the sponsors of the Centre.
The inauguration ceremony was held at the Sarada-Ramakrishna Ashram premises. The fun-filled afternoon event was attended by invited guests of local residence as well as the grand sponsor from England. The Ashram girls demonstrated an attractive show through their dance performances. The speakers included Msrs. Sandhyamalati Chatterjee, Gopal Pal, Kalyan Mukherjee, Prasad Sarkar, Sharmila Basu and a few local dignitaries. The speakers' principal message was that the children of Hotar, the beneficiaries of the Centre, should preserve and protect it as one of their very own dear possessions, as the benefits would flow in for many many years. The sponsors were thanked for their generosity.
