With an aim of celebrating the fourth year of its indigenously designed ‘Sinchon’ project, Durgapur-based social welfare organization, Durgapur Adda Young Association hosts ‘Sinchon Dibos’ programme on 16th January at Bidhan Bhavan of Durgapur Steel Township.
‘Sinchon’ is a self-designed project of Durgapur Adda Young Association, by virtue of which the organization has been taking all the responsibilities (schooling, accommodation, food, study, clothing, sports, etc.) of 5 meritorious students of class V, from socio-economically weaker families and vows to carry out the responsibilities till they pass out class XII.
In the presence of more than two hundred audience, the collage of songs, poem and harmonica play by the students of Sinchon project touched the hearts of all. Contemporary social issues were highlighted in the songs by the members of the organization. The students of Sinchon project also performed a play, ‘Notun Sokal’.
In his speech, secretary of DAYA spoke of trying to free ourselves from the grip of “acquired helplessness” or “perceived helplessness”. The attitude of giving up or there is no point in doing anything or my words or efforts will not change anything is contagious and we must try to get ourselves out of this attitude, said the secretary. From this “Acquired Helplessness” comes the culture of silent acceptance, the culture of silence. Analytical thinking can only change this situation; The ‘Sinchon’ initiative really wants to instill these qualities in the students.
All the 5 students who got chance in this year’s ‘Sinchon Project’ were presented with sweater and canvas shoes as gifts. The 7 students who couldn’t find a place in the final 5 but made it to the last round were also presented with gifts.
Eminent singer Sayantika Chattaraj enthralled the audience with her captivating songs.
At present there are 19 students under this ‘Sinchon’ project; 5 students of Class V, VI, VII and 4 students of Class VIII.
Here it must be mentioned that Durgapur Adda Young Association is not a registered NGO, but only a registered social welfare organization, whose all projects and programme expenses are borne by common people who wants to create an equitable society.
