Parent Meeting – 2025

 
 
Venue: Ashwinipalli Centre
 
The second Parent Meeting of 2025 was held at our Ashwinipalli Centre.
 
The mothers from families of unorganized workers attend four such meetings every year, often joining us after completing their day's work. These meetings provide an important opportunity to discuss challenges, share ideas, and collectively plan how we can better support our children.
 
Many of our plans can only become successful through everyone’s cooperation, participation, and love. The continued involvement of parents gives us the strength and encouragement to work towards our goals for the future.
 
At present, our Ashwinipalli Centre has shifted to a new location. We have rented a small room specifically to conduct our computer classes, and all our classes are currently being held there.
 
Despite limitations and challenges, we remain committed to continuing our educational journey with our children. With the support of our parents, teachers, friends, and well-wishers, we hope to create better opportunities for them in the days ahead. 

Monthly Ration Support Programme – May 2025

 
 
Programme: Monthly ration support for elderly and physically vulnerable individuals.
Month: May 2025 
 
Supporting Friend: Our long-standing friend and well-wisher, Mrs. Bhagabati Saha 
 
This month, our programme was able to support six elderly individuals and two specially-abled young women from our extended community.
 
Members of our Narishakti team regularly conduct surveys to identify elderly people who have no one to care for them. Through this initiative, we had the opportunity to stand beside eight beneficiaries during the May ration distribution.
 
Each beneficiary received the following essential items:
 
  • Rice – 5 kg
     
  • Masoor Dal – 500 g
     
  • Cooking Oil – 1 litre
     
  • Soya Chunks – 500 g
     
  • Biscuits – 300 g
     
  • Puffed Rice (Muri) – 400 g
     
  • Sattu – 500 g
 
 Along with the ration, Mrs. Bhagabati Saha also gifted a new garment to each beneficiary, adding a special touch of warmth and dignity to this initiative.
 
Mrs. Bhagabati Saha chose to support this ration programme in memory of her beloved husband, Late Shri Barindralal Saha, on his death anniversary. We offer our heartfelt gratitude to her for remembering those in need and for continuing to stand beside our community. 
 
Our Narishakti team members also ensure that the monthly ration reaches those elderly beneficiaries who are unable to attend the distribution because of physical difficulties.
 
There are many more elderly and vulnerable individuals who are deserving of this support. However, due to our limited resources, we are currently unable to extend the ration programme to everyone in need.
 
Your support can help us reach more people who are struggling and ensure that essential food and dignity reach those who need them most. We sincerely seek your continued support and cooperation in expanding this initiative.
 
Together, we can make sure that no elderly or vulnerable person feels forgotten. 
Wishing everyone good health, happiness, and well-being. 

A Gift of Affection

 
 
 With Thanks to Mrs. Sulekha Barui
 
The warm clothing gifted by our new friend and well-wisher, Mrs. Sulekha Barui of Dum Dum, was delivered to the students of our Creative Arts Department at the appropriate time. We sincerely regret the delay due to some internal circumstances.
 
Impressed by the creativity and artistic talent of our students, our new friend and business associate thoughtfully sent these gifts for them. Her gesture of encouragement and affection means a great deal to our children and to all of us. 
 
We are grateful to our member, Mrs. Chaitali Nath, who helped us connect with Mrs. Sulekha Barui and made this wonderful association possible.

They also arranged an evening snack for the children, including luchi, aloo dum, and sweets.
 
This was the first time that one of our friends gifted toys to our children, making the occasion especially memorable for all of us. Our heartfelt wishes and warmest greetings to our new friends. May you all stay happy, healthy, and blessed.

Programme: Monthly ration support for elderly and physically vulnerable individuals.
Month: April 2025 
 
Supporting Friend:  Our long-standing friend and well-wisher, Mrs. Sulagna Dutta Srivastava, currently residing in Pune. 
At present, our programme supports five elderly individuals and one specially-abled young woman from our extended community. Members of our Narishakti team conduct surveys to identify elderly people who have no one to care for them. As a result, six individuals are currently receiving monthly ration support
.
In April 2025, we had the opportunity to stand beside all six beneficiaries. Each individual received the following essential items:
 
  • Rice – 2 kg
     
  • Masoor Dal – 500 g
     
  • Cooking Oil – 500 ml
     
  • Soya Chunks – 100 g
     
  • Biscuits – 420 g
     
  • Puffed Rice (Muri) – 200 g

Our heartfelt gratitude to our friend and well-wisher, Mrs. Sulagna Dutta Srivastava, for her generous support and for standing beside us in this initiative. 
 
Our Narishakti team members also take the responsibility of delivering the monthly ration directly to those elderly beneficiaries who are unable to come in person because of physical limitations.
 
There are several more elderly individuals who are in genuine need of this support. However, due to our limited resources, we are currently able to provide ration to only six people.
 
Your support can help us reach more vulnerable elderly people and ensure that no one is left behind. We sincerely seek your continued cooperation in expanding this initiative.
 
Wishing everyone good health, happiness, and well-being.

First Student Meeting of 2025

Our first Student Meeting of 2025 was held as part of our regular annual activities. Like our other meetings, this meeting is also conducted every year.
 
The key areas of discussion included challenges, future plans, responsibilities, and various other important matters. There are many areas where, despite our sincere efforts, we do not always achieve the desired results. Yet, our efforts will continue, because we believe that perseverance is the first step towards meaningful change.
 
The success of any tree depends on the strength of its roots. Similarly, the strength of a person depends on the values, education, and humanity rooted within them. The stronger these roots are, the greater the possibility of becoming a truly compassionate and responsible human being.
 
Through these student meetings, our aim is not only to discuss problems, but also to build a strong foundation for the future—helping our students grow into responsible, compassionate, and truly good human beings.

Monthly Ration Support Program for Elderly and Persons with Disabilities March 2025

 

With heartfelt gratitude to our long-time supporter, Mrs. Debatri Chakraborty of Sodepur.
 
At Hridaypur Srija, we believe that every elderly person deserves to live with dignity, care, and compassion. Through regular community surveys conducted by our dedicated women's volunteer group, Narishakti, we identify elderly individuals who have little or no family support, as well as persons with disabilities who require consistent assistance.
 
Currently, our monthly ration program supports five elderly individuals and one young woman with a disability, bringing the total number of beneficiaries to six.
 
For the month of March 2025, each beneficiary received:
 
  1. 5 kg rice
     
  2. 500 g red lentils
     
  3. 1 litre cooking oil
     
  4. 500 g soy nuggets
     
  5. 300 g biscuits
     
  6. 500 g puffed rice
     
  7. 500 g roasted gram flour (Sattu)
To celebrate the Bengali New Year, Mrs. Debatri Chakraborty also lovingly gifted a bed sheet to each beneficiary, bringing warmth and comfort to their homes. We extend our deepest gratitude for her continued kindness and unwavering support.
 
We are equally thankful to Mr. Arup Pine, Mrs. Mitra Sarkar, and Mr. Pradipta Banerjee, whose generous contribution of rice made this month's distribution possible. Your support helps us bring hope and security to those who need it most.
 
Many of our elderly beneficiaries are unable to travel due to age-related illnesses and physical limitations. In such cases, the dedicated members of our Narishakti team personally deliver the monthly ration packages to their homes, ensuring that no one is left behind.
 
Today, there are several more elderly people in our community who qualify for this support. However, due to limited resources, we are currently able to serve only six beneficiaries.
 
Your support can help us reach many more vulnerable individuals. Together, we can ensure that no elderly person goes hungry or feels forgotten.
 
Thank you for standing with us and helping us build a more compassionate and inclusive community.

A New Milestone: Computer Classes Begin at Our Ashwinipalli Centre

 
 
Today marks the beginning of computer classes at Hridaypur Srija’s Ashwinipalli Centre, a long-awaited dream that has now become a reality.
 
For a considerable period, our computer instructor, Mr. Chanchal Chatterjee, has generously devoted his time to teaching digital skills to the children at our Kora Centre, despite his demanding professional commitments. We are deeply grateful that he has now extended his support to the children of our Ashwinipalli Centre as well.
 
With this new initiative, the Ashwinipalli Centre now offers computer education alongside drawing and yoga classes, creating greater opportunities for children to develop essential life and digital skills. We believe that access to computer education will equip them with the confidence and knowledge needed to build brighter futures in an increasingly digital world.
 
To sustain and strengthen this initiative, we sincerely seek your support. We are currently in need of a few chairs and other basic classroom essentials. Any contribution, large or small, will help us create a better learning environment for these children.
 
Your encouragement, generosity, and partnership inspire us to continue expanding opportunities for every child we serve. Thank you for being part of this journey

Basanta Utsav (Spring Festival) 2025

 
 
"May the colours of spring touch my soul and inspire all my actions."
 
Spring in Bengal is a season of renewal, hope, and vibrant colour. As nature emerges from the stillness of winter, it reminds us that each new season brings fresh possibilities. In this spirit, our children, teachers, and volunteers came together to celebrate Basanta Utsav with joy, creativity, and a strong sense of togetherness.
 
As part of the Dol (Holi) celebrations, we were honoured to join the colourful procession organised by our long-standing partner organisation, MASS. Marching alongside thousands of participants, our children experienced the true spirit of unity, cultural diversity, and community celebration, making the occasion even more memorable.
 
Cultural Performances
 
During MASS's five-day Basanta Utsav, our students once again had the valuable opportunity to showcase their talents through dance and poetry recitation. Performing before large audiences helped them build confidence, express their creativity, and celebrate Bengal's rich cultural heritage.
 
We sincerely appreciate the dedication, warmth, and excellent organisation of the MASS team. Each evening, the Janakalyan Maidan was filled with enthusiastic audiences, creating an inspiring environment for young performers.
 
Our heartfelt gratitude goes to MASS for providing our children with this meaningful platform year after year. We are also deeply thankful to our member Mrs. Chaitali Nath and our dance instructor Mrs. Sanjana Mukhopadhyay, whose constant encouragement and guidance have given our students the confidence to step onto the stage and shine.
 
We extend our warmest wishes and sincere thanks to every member of MASS for their continued friendship, collaboration, and commitment to empowering children through culture and community.

International Women's Day Celebration 2025

 
Venue: Kora Centre
 
On 8 March, we marked International Women's Day with a heartfelt celebration at our Kora Centre. Although the event was modest in scale, it reflected the resilience, determination, and growing confidence of the women in our community.
 
For many years, our educational programmes and community activities were conducted at Kora Udayani Sangha. However, for the past five months we have been unable to access that space. As a result, our small library has become the centre of all our activities, despite its limited capacity. To ensure that no child's education is interrupted, our dedicated volunteers and members have been visiting students in their homes, continuing classes under challenging circumstances. This Women's Day celebration was therefore held in our library—a reminder that meaningful change does not depend on the size of a venue, but on the strength of a community's commitment.
 
The theme of this year's programme was "We Are Women, We Can." Mothers from our community and members of our Core Group—our young women leaders of tomorrow—each delivered a three-minute speech on the theme.
 
Many of these women spend their days working tirelessly in other people's homes, balancing demanding jobs with the responsibilities of caring for their own families. Public speaking was something entirely new for most of them. Yet, with remarkable courage and determination, they stepped forward to share their voices.
 
Their speeches were not simply part of a competition; they represented growing confidence, self-belief, and the willingness to claim their place in society. Our three teachers served as judges, encouraging every participant throughout the programme.
 
The top three speakers were recognised with awards presented by our Secretary. In keeping with our belief that "Health is Wealth," Mrs. Chaitali Nath, a member of our Executive Committee, gifted sanitary napkins to all the mothers, reinforcing the importance of women's health, dignity, and well-being.
 
The celebration concluded with music, laughter, a simple group dance, and shared refreshments. These joyful moments strengthened friendships, built confidence, and reminded everyone that empowerment also grows through belonging, encouragement, and shared experiences.
 
 
At Hridaypur Srija, we believe that empowering women begins with creating opportunities for them to learn, speak, lead, and support one another. Every small step taken today lays the foundation for stronger families, more confident children, and more resilient communities tomorrow.
 
The journey continues, and with the encouragement of our supporters and well-wishers, we remain committed to helping every woman discover her strength, raise her voice, and realise her potential.

Parents' MeetingVenue: Kora Centre

 
 
The first Parents' Meeting of 2025 was held at our Kora Centre.
 
Mothers from families of unorganised workers attended the meeting after finishing their day's work, as they do for our four annual parent meetings.
 
These gatherings provide a valuable platform to discuss ideas, share concerns, and collectively plan initiatives for the well-being and development of our children. Every effort is made to turn these plans into reality through open discussion and mutual understanding.
 
The cooperation, encouragement, and love of all our parents continue to inspire us and will play a vital role in successfully achieving our goals for the future.
