Anti Malaria Cooperative Society
In 1918, a meeting of the villagers took place at Trannath High School. There, Dr. Gopal Chandra Chattopadhyay established that the spread malaria could be controlled through sanitary conscience of the common people. The Anti Malaria Cooperative Society was formed in India at Panihati on 24 March 1918 with 27 people. Chattopadhyay was the organization's first president and Bandopahyay its first Secretary. Within three months by cleaning ponds, drains of the village, removing garbage and spraying Kerosene oil, malaria was under control. This success story encouraged the villagers of the neighborhood and Anti Malaria Cooperative Societies were formed. That movement resulted in the formation of the Central Anti Malaria Cooperative Society in a meeting held on 8 April 1919 at Rammohan Library Hall in Calcutta. The Central Society was presided over by Dr. Kailash Chandra Bose with Chattopadhyay as Secretary.
Kishorimohan continued as the Secretary of the Panihati Society till 1923. He became busy in propagating the message of sanitary conscience throughout undivided Bengal with the help of Magic Lantern. The Central Society started its own bi-lingual monthly journal 'Sonar Bangla' under the Editorship of Bipin Chandra Pal and Chattopadhyay. Kishori Mohan was a regular contributor of this journal.
In 1928 Dr. Gopal Chandra Chatterjee started the movement of home crofting. Kishori Mohan contributed a lot to make this movement also a successful one. Kishori Mohan Bandyopadhyay also co-founded The Panihati Cooperative Bank in 1927. He was elected by the villagers in the Panihati Municipality as Commissioner twice.[2]
