Appeal from SYMA - seeking your support for our projects 2024-2025

Appeal from SYMA - seeking your support

for our Medical Centre and Education projects 2024-25


 

 Dear Friends & well wishers

·        Do you recall  those olden  days, especially   June – the best dress that we had was the Uniform !!

·        Police,   Army, Medical professionals, Civic  Workers, school students  and more  -  the uniting factor is Uniform which has been in vogue for centuries but systematized in last century.

·        Uniform brings in a sense of equality and ensure children attend classes with dignity

·        Even in the metropolis where Porsche, Rangerovers, Fortuners, Audi occupy the road, there are parents who cannot provide good quality clothes and quality education for their children !!

·         Having reached some position in life, many of us want to give back something to the society, helping them in some way – here is our humble effort.

செந்நாப்போதாரின் வாய்மொழியில் கல்வியின் சிறப்பு :

கேடில் விழுச்செல்வம் கல்வி யொருவற்கு

மாடல்ல மற்றை யவை.

ஒருவனுக்கு அழிவு இல்லாத சிறந்த செல்வம் கல்வியே ஆகும், கல்வியைத் தவிர மற்றப் பொருள்கள் (அத்தகைய சிறப்புடைய) செல்வம் அல்ல!  கல்விதான் சமுதாயத்தையே மாற்ற வல்லது. 

Please do read this – together we will change the way some students attend school. In Tamil Nadu, after almost 2 years of Corona  – Schools reopened  now we have almost forgotten the dreaded pandemic – and it is time to move on with good education.  Come June every year, Students are  happy in attending classes physically wearing fresh and new uniform.  





Srinivas Youngmen’s Association (popularly SYMA)  has been doing service to the society ever since 1977.  Our  services engulf  various lines such as civic welfare, medicine, health, environment, education, personality development more.     We at SYMA, feel strongly the primary responsibility of improving the Society and helping the underprivileged.   

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 !] – 17250 patients benefitted last year.   We  have a Medical lab (technical support of Neuberg Ehrlich) where blood and other tests are done at very nominal costs.  WE have Physiotheraphy and Ultrasound scan as well.  An Eye clinic is run by Pammal Sankara Hospital in our premises.

2)   SYMA Growth – a purposeful special tuition centre for coaching poor students of 10th and 12th standards.  Into its 17th  year now, this was inaugurated in  2008 and producing good results year after year, changing the lives of poor children.  This year we are  planning to start by mid June 2024.  

Education is the only thing that can change the lives of children coming from lower echelons of society.  We firmly believe that only quality education can improve them and ensure their moving to a higher echelon.  For making students attend schools with dignity, we have been providing uniforms for more than 2 decades now.  This year we plan to provide 1000  sets of unstitched uniforms to poor students.  Schools and students have been identified and the process is already on.   A set of uniform would cost Rs.1000/- approx..  We seek your support for a few sets from your side.  

Our Tuition Centre SYMA Growth – runs at an annual expenditure of Rs.13 lakhs approx. and this year, we have plans of extending.  Generally, we collect funds in the months of  July & ahead coinciding with our Educational Aid Programme, though donations are welcome throughout the year. 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’  (or simply SYMA)– payable at Chennai.
