Shishu Koruna Sangha : Projects

PROJECT BODHICARIYA PROJECT
BODHICARIYA project has roused tremendous interest and eagerness among the tribal people in West Bengal and the North-Eastern States like Mizoram, Arunachal Pradesh Assam and Tripura. We are pleased but at the same time helpless since we cannot fulfill their demand because SKS has no sufficient resources to create opportunities for the deserving and needy children. But we are confident to overcome these problems soon. With a view to implement the principle aims of Shishu Koruna Sangha, the Bodhicariya Project has been established. This is a multifarious project with various units. Bodhicariya Educational Project includes:
		BODHICARIYA HOSTEL
Bodhicariya Senior Secondary School. Students Hostel. Destitute Home Health Care Centre Alternative Education Programme Centre for Preservation and Development of Tribal Arts and Crafts and cultural heritage BODHICARIYA EDUCATIONAL PROJECT ALSO INCLUDES BODHICARIYA SENIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL ( Science, Commerce & Arts Streams)
Located in the green sylvan setting of Rajarhat, Bodhicariya School is the ideal seat of learning for those who wish to grow with wisdom and culture as the two lettered name, ‘BODHI’ and ‘CARIYA’ suggests. Just 12 kms. from the Salt Lake City or Kolkata Airport, it is situated at Maitree Nagar, Rajarhat New town, Kolkata 700 135. Tutored under learned and experienced teachers, children admitted to the school undergo all round development.
