About RKBL Family Trust

The Founder

A Legacy of Resilience, Integrity, and Compassion

He lost his father when he was only 2 years old. Over the next eight decades, his life was shaped by an unwavering belief that knowledge was the truest form of wealth and resilience the most valuable strength one could possess. His father, a respected Headmaster of a Girls School, had bestowed upon him the blessing of a restless intellectual curiosity that stayed with him all his life.

From his mother — widowed at 24, raising three children alone — he learned that all adversity ultimately bows to resilience. As the youngest son, he became the true inheritor of both legacies: his father's devotion to knowledge and his mother's indomitable spirit.

Poverty never deterred him from pursuing a master's degree in Labour Welfare in the 1950s. In a professional career spanning nearly seven decades, integrity was his north star, family his dharma, and loyalty his second nature.

In his early 70s, with all four children grown and settled, he turned his attention to community service — establishing the Bidulata Memorial Trust in 2009 in loving memory of his late wife, providing student scholarships and social welfare services. The RKBL Family Trust, founded in 2018, carries his vision forward.
