ABOUT Home: Life at each step has given most of us the opportunity to smile, be happy, successful and the fruits of our efforts. But those people who are still striving for existence in every field of life, what about them? India is a country of contrasts! This country has as many as 53 billionaires; the fourth highest in the world. In this country over 3 million children are living on streets, 17 million children work as labourers. The statement ‘Children are the future of the Nation’ stops making sense, then! These thoughts were bothering some like-minded people for some time and the seed of ‘ABHA Mission for Social Health and Education’ was sowed. The ‘abha’ in Sanskrit means ‘glow’ or ‘shine’. Life for each and every child in our country must be shining, their future promising and a proper education is the primary route for a bright-shining future. The discourse of education cannot be addressed in isolation. Not only academics, the mind, the body and the spirit – all need to be
loved and taken care of for the proper growth of the inner self. A healthy body is the precursor to a healthy mind, so health and education are the key objects where ABHA Mission-SHE decided to focus on. We: ‘ABHA Mission for Social Health and Education’ is a secular, nongovernmental, non-for-profit organization, registered under the West Bengal Society Act, XXVI of 1961, No. S/1L/49307of 20072008. ‘ABHA Mission for Social Health and Education’ shall qualify for deduction u/s 80G(5)(VI) of the Income Tax Act,1961. It is applicable only in India. On December 29, 2007, the vision and passion of Mrs. Mita G Basu Roy, the founder of ABHA Mission-SHE, found fruition. A group of people took a resolution to work for the society. The Mission is ‘for the people, of the people, and by the people’. Few senior professors, engineers, doctors, teachers, business person, counselors, social activists were witness of the foundation of the organization that day. The Mission believes in ‘good will and will to do good’ is the base of humanity. So, at present the core team of ABHA Mission-SHE comprises of eminent professionals from multi-discipline and multi-sector backgrounds across the country who want to share their thoughts and similar ideology in a common platform to uplift the lives of the people who are growing with inadequate education, unhealthy circumstances in every sphere of life. Domain: Health- A healthy society depends on the health of children who would be the citizen of the country tomorrow and also the
mothers’ health who nurture them. Despite efforts towards health care, according to the WHO report, 10.6 million children and 5,29,000 mothers are dying every year. The new born mortality rate still haunts and continues to be a bane in social development. The Mission aims to work towards better health of pregnant mothers and children, and create public health programmes to improve deplorable health conditions. One of our first challenges was the issue of availability and accessibility of primary health care services in rural areas of South 24 parganas, and various schools of Sarba Shikhsa Mission in and around Kolkata. Doctors and counselors have happily given their time and efforts to make these camps a success. Beyond Kolkata and its suburbs, in the Eastern region, the Mission has also spread its roots as far as Delhi and U.P. in the Northern region of our country. With support from Prakash Hospital, the Mission organized health camps in Sardar Patel School and Setu Shiksha Jyoti Kendra (SSJK), Nithari in Noida. Education- Since independence, India feels there is a need for review and reform in the system of education, comprehensive examination of educational problems, and that the Civil Society and the Central Government should play its part in reconstruction. Primarily, education in India based on foreign culture. It ignores the culture of the heart and the hand, confining itself simply to the head. Now-a-days education in Kolkata and outskirts of the city could perhaps be improved by introducing an alternative approach to it, which would not only include theoretical understanding of subjects, but also help children explore and create sources and tools for a liberating experience of learning. Our work of counseling children, honing their creative skills constantly helping
them to express themselves through various modes of creative expressions is how to educate the future of this country. Regular Self-Awareness programmes that stress on the importance of physical and mental exercises through ‘The Natural Healing Method’ in one’s life and how we can incorporate simple steps that go a long way in changing our entire lifestyle forms the basis of the Mission’s activities pattern. Since only education is not the only parameter to judge people, ABHA Mission-SHE also conducts Annual Day in December every year. Young minds are then involved into cultural activities, like – drama, dance, music, poetry recitation and mime. Vision: 1. To help and improve the underprivileged children with quality of education; 2. To make education an enjoyable fulfilling and rewarding experience for children; 3. To create and make available primary health care services in rural areas; 4. To promote ‘self help is the best help’ on health, hygiene and education; 5. To promote self-sustain body for women; 6. To promote sharing and caring attitude – ‘to live and let live’ for a better healthy society. Strength: YOU! If you would like to share your views and ideology for a healthy – lively society, lend your hands please.
