COMMUNITY

Srijan Centre for Community Welfare started its journey on 9th

July, 2003 as an informal weekend school for the street children of

our neighbourhood. Subsequently it was registered under

Societies Registration Act in April, 2005. Its beneficiary consists of

around 30 children in the age group of 6-14 years. The major

activities of Srijan centres round providing educational support to

our children at the premises of Women’s College, Calcutta and

giving them training on drawing, recitation, singing and dance.

The best of the students are selected for extensive and integrated

training

at ‘Banichakra’ a renowned music and Dance training institution

of Kolkata.

We at Srijan believe in regular interaction with the children and

their mothers which enable us to cater to their needs. Every year

our children perform in the Annual Social of Women’s College,

Calcutta and participate in the annual sports organized by the

Sports committee, Women’s College, Calcutta. Our children are

also invited by different organizations to showcase their talents. With the help and support of the

NSS Committee of the college we organize annual excursions for our children to Museums, Science

City and various Entertainment Parks.They also exhibit different objects of handicraft made by

them at the reunion of Women’s College, Calcutta.

Behind this appreciable performance of the students of Srijan lies the praiseworthy and relentless

dedication of the teachers of Srijan who are also ex-students of Women’s College, Calcutta.

Our children take active part in the NSS programmes of the college and are often subjects of the

different projects undertaken by

the Department of Food and

Nutrition of our college.

Since its inception our children

have earned many distinctions

for Women’s College, Calcutta.

Their performance were highly

praised at the NSS week of

Jogesh Chandra College and the

annual programme of Silver

Strings, a musical school. They

have also earned many

accolades for their

performances at various places

they were invited for.

Active participation and extension of help from friends and acquaintances is an active boost in the

progress of Srijan over the years. This year a group of highly enthusiastic boys and girls from a

group called ‘Haath Baralei Bandhu’ distributed clothes, school bags with stationaries and food

packets.

All the teaching and non-teaching staff members of Women’s College, Calcutta are closely

associated with our children and extend their help in all forms to be a part of a better Srijan every

day. Srijan is our pride and our mission is to see it stand high.

We sincerely want our children to take the highest responsibility in every aspects of our society.

ANNUAL REPORT’ 2015

Dear Members,

At the very outset I would like to apologize for not being able to arrange the AGM, 2015 in

the scheduled time. We are meeting again after the last AGM of Srijan held on 12th

September, 2014. Nevertheless, we have to move further to accomplish our dream.

Since its inception, all of you have been working relentlessly to shape it and to bring it to its

present state with lots of new and innovative ideas.

What we did:

• The children performed at the Annual Social of Women’s College, Calcutta at Girish

Mancha on 27th September, 2014. It was a grand exhibition and the stage came alive

with their enthusiastic and energetic performance on Rabindranath Tagore’s

“Birpurush”.

• The children participated in the Annual Sports of the College on 23rd December, 2014

and 22nd December, 2015.

• The Annual Excursion of Srijan was held with much enthusiasm at Alipore Zoo on

19th December, 2014.

• 12th birthday of Srijan was celebrated on 9th July, 2015. Our children sang and danced

to the tunes of beautiful melodies.

What we want to highlight:

• Four students from Public Relations Society of India, Kolkata Chapter visited Srijan

on 1st August, 2015 as a part of their internship programme (to visit an organisation

involved in social activity to learn functioning of the organisation for preparation of a

report).

• Our children performed at the Annual programme of Singing Strings at Rajya Yuva

Kendra on 12th October, 2015. Since it was the day of Mahalaya, our children

presented a dance recital highlighting Ma Durga, Asura and her devotees.

• On 18th October, 2015 a group of young and enthusiastic boys and girls from the

facebook organization “Haath Baralei Bandhu” donated dresses, school bags and

stationaries to all the beneficiaries of Srijan.

What we could not do:

Unable to organize the Annual Picnic of 2015

We want to thank:

1. We want to thank Dr. Mahua Das, Principal, Women’s College, Calcutta for extending

her support to team Srijan.

2. Sri Salil Chatterjee, for being a constant source of inspiration for us.

3. Dr Indrani Sen for her regular contribution to Srijan.

4. All the teachers for their physical support, mental strength and the financial help to

smoothen the regular functioning and overcome the emergencies that crop up from the

dire requirements of these children.

5. The NTS for their administrative support.

6. The NSS Unit for involving our children in all their activities and especially in health

camps.

7. Prof. Naina Dey, an ex-student and Assistant Professor of English at Raja Manindra

Chandra College, had been a great support for our children as always by distributing

learning materials to our children every year. Apart from that there were many other

patrons who have helped us in different ways by distributing necessary things from

time to time.

What we need to do:

1. Prepare our children for a smart cultural presentation near NAAC team

2. Allot a classroom for Srijan

3. Encourage their guardians to meet the teachers on a regular basis.
