There is an attachement too…. June 2013  issue of BLISS – the newsletter of SYMA  which contains :  click here to download Bliss June 2013 

ü News on the inauguration of 6^th year of operation of our Tuition Centre SYMA Growth

ü Of our Educational Aid programme where we distribute uniforms [around 1200 sets] to school students; honour the toppers of schools in Triplicane and provide financial assistance to some students besides honouring toppers of our Tuition centre

ü A report on the success of our students in the Public Examinations

ü This month’s Q : Do you know what connects : Shri Charu Chandra Biswas, Lal Bahadur Shastri, Govind Ballabh Pant, MC Chagla, LK Advani, KC Pant, Pranab Mukherjee, VP Singh, IK Gujral, Jaswant Singh and Dr Manmohan singh ? and who was the first one in that list ?

Over the years, I have been circulating to you all,  some  activities of   Srinivas Youngmens Association  fondly  known as SYMA.   To  some  SYMA may not require any lengthy introduction,  for We, at SYMA remember the patronage that you made last year also towards Educational Aid.  To those of you new - established in 1977,  SYMA  has been  carrying  out social welfare activities in a small but meaningful way over the past 3 decades.  We are fortunate enough to have dedicated volunteers and supportive patrons. 

SYMA is engaged throughout the year in many projects which include – running of Medical Centre, running of Tuition centre ‘SYMA Growth’, Educational Aid Programme, Various camps, maintaining cleanliness and environ friendliness and more.  For all this we require funds and we have been patronized by many philanthropists and friends.  Every year, in June, we provide new uniforms to poor students.  Last year around 1200 students received uniforms from us.  In the Educational Aid Programme,   besides uniform, We

-           distribute financial assistance to some students

-           honour the school toppers of all the schools in Triplicane.

-         present SYMA Seva Award recognising persons who are doing social service.

Those who require uniforms is increasing year after year.   It   is  a hard truth that there are many school children  who manage with  just one set of uniform throughout the year, that too  hard to come by.  We strongly believe that we can make some difference to the way these unfortunate children attend their school.  This year we plan to provide Uniforms to 1200 students for which we have evolved systems to ensure that the benefits reach properly. 

Generally, we collect funds in the months of June & July ahead of our Educational Aid Programme, though donations are welcome throughout the year.  The issue also contains the Invitation for our Educational Aid programme slated on Sunday 7^th July 2013.  The programme would take place at NKT National Girls High School @ 6 pm ~ request you all to attend.

You have patronized us in a big way in the past, and we look forward to receiving your donations this year too.  Cheques are to be drawn in the name of ‘SRINIVAS YOUNGMENS ASSOCIATION’ – payable at Chennai.  In case any donor wishes to make a Bank transfer, we will provide details of our Bank A/c on request.   Contributions to SYMA are eligible for deduction under Sec 80G (5) (vi)of Income Tax Act, as applicable. You have all along supported us in a big way and we look forward to your continued support.  Together we will ensure transformation towards a better Society.

With regards

S. Sampathkumar.
