Smita has been promoting women empowerment, water conservation, child education and preservation of the environment through her NGO for the past few years. She has spent time in Africa as well as India & both countries have contributed to her understanding of public issues that often plague developing societies. 

Her mission is to empower the women to be independent and counsel them regularly for making their physical and mental health better. For this, the organization keeps arranging charitable projects in rural areas. These projects range from distributing essential educational items and creating awareness among the society as a whole. Her recent initiatives are like plantation, donating plants to schools, conducting training for girl children for health & hygiene. Donated grains, raw materials, and shed for the poorest who lost their home during the flood in Purba Midnapur, West Bengal. Also started an initiative “be self-dependent”, programs and camps for women in rural India. 

When asked what her plans regarding her life’s mission will be, Smita explains, “I am concerned about the plight of young girls in our country, especially those living in remote/rural areas. Such girls face many obstacles in life, ranging from patriarchy to abuse, inequality at home and outside, etc. Sampurti’s mission is to focus on the education of the girl child because we believe the way to a successful & bright future for these girls passes through the classroom. For this, we encourage the girls and their families to seek opportunities to educate. We provide financial help, counselling and every other help required putting these girls on to the way to a brighter future.”
