4.8.2019 is going to be a
gold letter day in the annals of SYMA history.
We have been aspiring, dreaming for this ~ ‘dreaming big or a big
dream’. Invitation is posted at the end of this post.
SYMA has an unsaturated
desire for serving the Society. SYMA [Srinivas Youngmen’s
Association] has been in the field of Social service since 1977
starting with street cleaning campaigns and keeping environment, more
specifically, the temple tank and its surroundings clean. We at
SYMA, feel strongly the primary responsibility of improving the Society and
helping the underprivileged. We are registered with
the Registrar of Societies. With care and concern for the society, we have been
actively involved in social service doing multifarious activities which include
– coordination with civic authorities in keeping the environ clean, conducting
health campaigns – promoting health care and hygiene; organizing Eye Camps,
Blood Camps and other camps. In our earnest effort to improve the competitive
spirit and to instill confidence in school children, We have been conducting
Child Fest every year in which more than 3000 students from around 100 city
schools participate.
With a focus on
sustainable service, we have two bigger continuing projects :
1) Medical Centre and
Laboratory run for the poor wherein free consultation and medicines are
provided – popularly known as ரெண்டு ரூவா மருத்துவமனை [Rs. 2
hospital !] This functions between 5 – 7 pm on all days except Sundays and
National holidays. Consultation is free and medicines too – provided through
regular medical shops with whom we have working arrangement. Around 40 – 50
people utilize this daily. We also have a Medical lab wherein blood and other
tests are done at very nominal costs. The running of Medical Centre and Lab
costs around Rs.45000/- per month.
2) SYMA Growth – a
purposeful special tuition centre for coaching poor students of 10th and 12th
standards. Into its 12th year now, this was inaugurated
in 2008 and producing good results year after year, changing the lives of
poor children. This year we have X Std English medium; X Tamil
medium; + 2 Science Group and +2 Commerce Group. Every year, we educate
around 110 students selected from weaker sections of the society and that way
perhaps we have touched the lives of more than 1000 poor students.
Both this projects
are fully sponsored by Manpower Group this year (2019-20), to
whom, we express our deep gratitude. M/s Karix Mobiles have
sponsored the Educational Aid programme and there are many philanthropists and
corporate behind our success.
We have been dreaming of
expanding ~ and the foremost impediment in realizing our endeavour was perhaps lack
of space. SYMA has been functioning in a
270 SFT approx premises at 29 TP Koil Street, (pictured here) Opp to Bharathiyar Illam.
With the munificent support of Vasavi Builders, we are moving to a
sprawling premises at 37 Car Street, Triplicane, Chennai 600 005.
Our Medical Centre and
Lab would immediately be moved to this new premises. We also plan to have : Physiotherapy centre;
Dental Clinic, Specialists consultation on specified dates and .. .. nursing
care centre too. We look forward to the
fullest cooperation, suggestions and help in execution from all our members,
volunteers and well-wishers.
The grand opening of the
new premises is slated to be on Sunday 4th Aug 2019 – the much
awaited inauguration will be done by
His Holiness Sri Sri
Vadhikesari Azhagiya Manavala Jeeyar, Thirukachi
The guests of honour are

The inauguration will be
followed by free mega comprehensive health camp and free master health check-up

Diagnostics.
SYMA thanks all its
patrons, well-wishers, volunteers and members for ensuring the growth of our
service activities. WE heartily invite you all for the function ~
please come, bless the Organisation invoking the divine grace of Emperuman to
grow and be of continued service to the society.
