“I am studying in Class VIII. I have been attending the SEESHA Tuition Centre in Bapunagar from Class III onwards. My teacher at the Tuition Centre helps me study and understand all the subjects well. I have improved a lot. I am very happy to inform you that I got the first rank in my Class VII Annual Exam. My school Principal honoured me by awarding me with a shield. This made me very happy, and has given me the motivation to seek more success. I heartily thank Seesha, and Dr. Paul Dhinakaran who are helping me” - Lalitha Neha Kumbare “My husband’s low income was not sufficient to handle all the family expenses and we suffered. The rent itself appeared to be a huge amount for us. I wanted to help my husband in some way or the other to manage the family expenses. It was when my family was undergoing these hardships, I came to know of SEESHA. I approached SEESHA having heard from my friend that vocational trainings for income generation are given by them. There I was encouraged to join a jute product manufacturing class organized in collaboration with Jan Shikshan Sansthan (JSS), Govt. of India. I enrolled myself and received training for three months on making many products like purses, hand bags, lunch bags, college bags, etc. Now, I am able to earn by making and selling jute bags in and around my area and also in college fests. The money I earn by selling jute products is very useful to meet some of my essential needs. I thank SEESHA for training me and giving me the confidence to progress economically by equipping me with such a skill.” - Rathna Mala ◆ World Students’ Day and International Day of Rural Women – 15th October, 2015 SEESHA sponsored saplings and tree guards, which were planted along the roads by the school students of Melkumaramangalam and by the rural women in Salai Nagar, Cuddalore. This initiative was taken with the aim of encouraging students and women to create a clean and green India.
