Pooja for the
welfare of SYMA Growth students 2015
This morning I received a parcel
flown from Delhi, with clear instruction to Blue Dart to deliver before 12
noon.
SYMA has an
unsaturated desire for serving the Society.
In our sojourn, we understand the need for shaping the children and
inculcating in them the good qualities, making them responsible citizens. In
this little World, most students are frightened to face the Public examination
for the first time in X std. (SSLC) SYMA’s vision was to provide good quality
education training for those students who suffer for want of opportunities and
dreamt of quality tuition to Students free of cost. On 6th July 2008, Mr R Sekar, IPS, Commissioner of Police
launched our Tuition Centre ‘Growth’ and
a right beginning was made. Every year
since, we have been tasting grand success with very good results.
The classes for the
present academic year started in July
2015 after our initial screening
ensuring that the most deserving were selected on economic criteria. The Centre is run on all days from 6-8 pm in
the evening and on Sundays @ 10-12 am and has
+2 Commerce, + Science Group; X standard – Tamil and X Std English medium
– each having around 35 students.
The
Examinations are closer and today 20th Feb 2015, SYMA organised a
Pooja at NKT National Boys High School, praying for the success of our students
and for the well being of the Organisation in continuing this good cause. All our students were present in time. Special pooja
was conducted by Sri Devaraja Swami, Chinnamurai Archagar of Sri
Parthasarathi Swami temple who blessed the students.
The teachers
present today spoke and wished the students.
Mr S Venkatadri, HM National Boys School elaborated on the present
set-up of Answer papers and the approach in strategically preparing and
answering. Mr Srinivasan, advised on the
need for putting in right efforts punning on the word ‘Chemis-try’. Mrs Subashini emphasised on right diet and
not eating junk food while preparing for the examinations. Mr MK Sridhar @ Meiyur Kannan encouraged the
students to do well.
Yours
Truly wished them and spoke on SYMA’s expectations of the students doing well
in the examinations, earning high status, doing back to the Society and getting
back to SYMA helping in continuance of the good cause. We had invited a good friend, who grew with
us about three decades back, studying in NKT and Hindu High School, Vivekananda
College, then pursuing higher studies in Organic Chemistry in IISC; Post
doctoral fellowships in – Swiss Federal
Instt of Tech, Zurich, National Instt of Health, USA, Johns Hopkins University,
USA and now Scientist at National Institute of Immunology, New Delhi. It was an attempt
to implant in the minds of students that they too can reach great positions in
life when they aspire and put in required efforts. Mr Srinivasa
Gopalan Sampathkumar’s visit today truly inspired them as also the
lengthy deliverance in simple eloquence.
The Scientist impressed them so much that after the Pooja, he was
encircled and subjected to barrage of Qs on multitude issues. TJ Ramani proposed the vote of thanks.
Enabling the
students write the exams well, an attractive
pouch containing Trimax pens (2); pencils; scale, eraser, screw .. was
given to each student. Mr Prashant
Singh, India Art Investment Co, New Delhi had sent them by air – the freight
itself was so costly. Mr Prashant Singh
once visited SYMA Growth Pooja and has
been doing this for the past 3 years continuing his passion for the welfare of
students and we bow to him for this affectionate gesture.
SYMA places on
record our profound thanks to the
Management of NK Thirumalachariyar National Boys High School, Mr S. Venkatadri,
HM, NKT Boys High School, our beloved teachers of SYMA Growth, Mrs Thara, Mr
Raja, and the volunteers.
We now look
forward to our students coming out with flying colours in the Public
Examination.
Regards – S.
