Catholic Church and health care
The famous Mother Teresa of Calcutta established the Missionaries of Charity in the slums of Calcutta in 1948 to work among "the poorest of the poor". Initially founding a school, she then gathered other sisters who "rescued new-born babies abandoned on rubbish heaps; they sought out the sick; they took in lepers, the unemployed, and the mentally ill". Teresa achieved fame in the 1960s and began to establish convents around the world. By the time of her death in 1997, the religious institute she founded had more than 450 centres in over 100 countries.

By the end of the 1960s, a documentary was made on Mother Teresa, and in the early 1970s, the first ever book on her, "Something Beautiful for God" was published by Harper Collins (based on the documentary). It was written and undertaken by Malcolm Muggeridge with the photographs of Mother Teresa snapped by Sunil K. Dutt.
Dutt's pictorial book titled "Kolkata Canvas" portrays the life of Kolkata. It has more than 100 photographs on various aspects of city and its reality. Dutt's other pictorial books are "Robir Aloy Alokchitro", "Durga Puja", "Amay Gach Kore Dao", "Shantiniketan", "Mother Teresa - Down Memory Lane"."Dear Sunil, God love you for the love you gave through your photos. God bless you." Mother Teresa's quote on a smiling black and white photo of hers.
