DIG

The Deutsch-Indische Gesellschaft (Indo-German Society) is a private society of people based in Germany with branches in almost every major German city. It exists to promote cultural exchange programmes with India and FERRY is one of the NGOs in India it supports. The funds it collects are entirely the individual contributions of its members. Members of the society have taken a concerned and personal interest in our work, and we have benefited enormously from their help, advice and encouragement. The President of the Wuppertal branch, Mr Barendra Kumar Mallick, who is originally from Kalna near Baidyapur, is presently the DIG member who is most actively involved in FERRY's projects. Earlier this role had been played by Frau Inge Boie, who tirelessly supported FERRY and raised funds for it during the first decade of its existence.
