West Bengal Scheduled Castes, Tribes & Minority Welfare Association was founded by Late Dr. Rajani Kanta Doloi. Dr. Doloi was born in a poor family at Kalyanpur village in Paschim Medinipur District, West Bengal on May 9, 1940.

His talent defeated poverty. He completed his schooling and entered college. Later he passed M.A. in Political Science and Philosophy from Calcutta University, LL.B. and Diploma in Physical Education and Doctorate from Calcutta University.

He started his career as an Asst. Teacher in Narajole Mahendra Academy and later became Assistant—headmaster of the same school. But a normal self-centered life was not scripted for him.

In 1967 his name was proposed by Smt. Anjali Khan, Rani Maa of Narajole as candidate of Indian National Congress for Keshpur Assembly Constituency. He contested the election and was elected M.L.A. at the age of 27. Later he was re-elected M.L.A. in 1971, 1972 and 1977. He became the Deputy Leader of the Congress Legislative Party in the West Bengal Assembly.

He did many developments in Keshpur and gave employment to hundreds of youth during his tenure as M.L.A. He was popularly known as the reformer of Keshpur.

In the late 80s, he decided to devote himself to the service of mankind and founded the Association. He implemented various projects in different fields like education, human resource development, women’s empowerment, poverty alleviation, health and aged care in villages in West Bengal, Odisha and Tripura.

On 19^th August, 2018 this pious, ever smiling, philanthropist left for his heavenly abode. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
