Title Significance:

Bengali word “PARIBARTAN” means – ‘Change’ that we believe and very often use in the sense of positive term and as we know actual development is translated into reality only when it has changed anything toward the trend of increasing growth up to expected level ensuring quality and quantity both at a time. Nothing would be everlasting except Change according to eternal saying. Moreover, as it was George Bernard Shaw who once said “Progress is impossible without change; and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything”. That is the philosophical notion in keeping such a name of the organization in bringing changes about all poor conditions. But after all, we should first change ourselves and then try to make the changes of others or anything that is the main motto.
