Dr.
Kedar Ranjan Banerjee, the Hony Secretary started
campaign for detoxification even during his study
for Medical degrees. He started in the Busteen
at Sova Bazar of North Calcutta and even in a
room at the Nimtala Burning ghat where he earmarked
few of the drug addicts and started working with
them. His effort has now diversified into
multifaceted activities on mental health that
has given birth to NIBS. His vow was to bring
them back to the main stream of the society. In
fact, this was first mission as Doctor.

After has had completed his Medical degree and
Post Graduation in Psychiatry, he never let the
thought go away from his mind to do something
for this drug addict class of the society while
practicing on Psychiatry.
NIBS has already conducted a good number of such
camps over the years. The camps are generally
conducted in a natural settings such as garden
houses and situated on the outskirts of the city.
Drug dependent
patients are attended by psychiatrists, psychologists
and mental health workers.

The
camps are organized to ensure discipline
without regimentation, as in adventure camps
for young people. Even after the patients
completes their terms in the camps, they
are kept under constant surveillance for
six months in the community with back up
services from the Out Patient Department
of NIBS to ensure that they have completely
been detoxified.
