Sunday, 4th of August, 2019 is a gold letter day in the
annals of SYMA history. We have been
aspiring, dreaming for this ~ ‘dreaming big or a big dream’.
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. With a focus on sustainable service, we have
two bigger continuing projects :
1) Medical Centre (started in the
year 1989 in affiliation with Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Sankara Medical Trust) which
serves the poor providing free
consultation and medicines at lowly Rs
2/- .
WE also have a medical analytical lab conducting various tests at very
nominal rates (started in the year 2007)
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.
Both these 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.
On 4.8.2019 With the munificent
support of Vasavi Builders, SYMA moved to a sprawling premises at 37 Car Street,
Triplicane, Chennai 600 005. At an
auspicious hour, the new building was opened and our services inaugurated by :
His Holiness Sri Sri
Vadhikesari Azhagiya Manavala Jeeyar, Thirukachi
The guests of honour were:
• Dr K Sridhar, Founder Trustee – SKKSM
Trust; Director & Senior Consultant – Plastic Surgery, SIMS Hospital
• Sri M Balasubramanyam, Director, Mangal
Tirth Estate Ltd
The function started with prayer –
‘virperu vizhagum pasuram’ in praise of sthalathipathi Sri Parthasarathi
Perumal rendered by Secretary S. Sampathkumar and Sri U Ve Manthrapushpam
Bashyam Iyengar. Yours Truly welcomed
the guests, introduced them and compered the event. President TA Sampathkumar spoke about the
cherished ideals of SYMA in expanding to a full time Hospital as also running a
quality School providing quality service to the poor.
His Holiness Sri Sri Vadhikesari
Azhagiya Manavala Jeeyar swami inaugurated the building. This mutt is a very important institution for
our Sampradhayam, established by Periya
Jeeyar Koyil Selva Manavala Mamunigal Himself, and succeeded by His prashishya
‘Vadikesari Azhagiya Manavala Jeeyar’.
SYMA was very fortunate in Jeeyar Swami inaugurating the new
premises. The present pontiff, a scholar
lived in Triplicane, knows SYMA and its office bearers well. More so, our premises (@ 29 TP Koil Street)
was functioning in the premises belonging to the Mutt.
It was Dr K Sridhar, renowned
Plastic surgeon, Director SIMS Hospital, Founder Trustee of Sri Kanchi Kamakoti
Sankara Medical Trust who initiated SYMA into medical service, guiding and
supporting us all through in our medical journey. We were indeed blessed to have Dr K Sridhar
in our midst. We have had many rounds of
discussions that has fine-tuned and shaped our medical centre. The other guest is famous philanthropist Sri
M Balasubramanyam, Director, Mangal Tirth Estates, the Company that shaped the
famous Spencer Mall on Mount Road. He has supported SYMA in a big way and it
was people like him who gave the ultimate courage to look out for a property
for outright purchase or taking a bigger premise on lease or rent. The guests were honoured – Jeeyar Swami by
our VP Mr Kasthuri; Dr Sridhar by R Sanjeevi and Mr Bala by Sadagopan MA.
It was indeed a moment frozen in the
history as hundreds of well-wishers, patrons and members of SYMA attended and
heard the anugraha bashanam of Jeeyar swami and the speeches of others. The inauguration was followed by free mega
comprehensive health camp and free master health check-up – in association with
Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Sankara Medical Trust & Medall Diagnostics. 100 persons
benefitted in the medical camp.
Our Medical Centre and Lab have now be moved to this new premises and will
function from here. SYMA Medical Centre
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. The Medical lab wherein blood and other tests are
done at very nominal costs functions in the morning. Specialists provide specialized consultation
on Wednesdays. . The running of Medical Centre and Lab costs around Rs.60000/-
per month.
Besides medical consultation, we
have Physiotherapy block wherein specialist provides care everyday between 4 –
6 pm. The fees for this centre is
provisionally put at Rs.100 per person.
We soon would have Dental care too.
The equipments have been installed and some finer aspects are being taken
care of. We are in the final stages of
strategizing ‘Nursing care’ – as per our initial plan, those recuperating from
medical condition can avail this facility where nursing care would be provided
on a short-term basis.
We look forward to the fullest
cooperation, suggestions and help in execution from all our members, volunteers
and well-wishers. SYMA thanks all its
patrons, well-wishers, volunteers and members for ensuring the growth of our
service activities. Mr TJ Ramani,
Founder Member proposed Vote of Thanks.
Our thanks are due to all our
patrons and well-wishers and especially all those who have contributed in money
and material for infrastructure creation in the new building. Our thanks are due to : M/s Manpower Services; Vasavi Constructions,
