It is apparently clear that the Govt is slashing funds, over the years, to Ramakrishna Mission despite many appeals from the administration. The institute, despite this huge obstacle,
is determined to continually sustain the efforts to support its noble commitments towards the unprivileged. It's needless to say that it needs to generate more donations to stay alive on the course. The time has come when we, the alumni, stand up
and join hands to give as little we can, to our beloved institute that has given us so much, expecting nothing in return. The
Joydeep-Soumen memorial fund was set up in 2003 with a simple objective of 'giving something
back to the society' through RKM, and today it has inspired other batches like 94 etc to come forward and extend their support too. So, if there's anything that urges you to do the same, then think no-more. it takes just a little effort to show your support - scribble
on a cheque, write a few words in a paper (a letter) and mail them to narendrapur. The details pertaining to cheque formats and address etc,
can be found in this page. To make online donation, click here. For anything else, feel free to contact us.
Joydeep-Soumen Memorial Fund: Looking
behind those golden years of our life, Ramakrishna Mission Naredrapur
holds a certain part of our mental cupboard. Wherever we are now, across
the world, scattered away in different cities, different places; we know
for sure, the root goes back to that lush green place spread across hundreds
of acres of land, a mini world of its own....Narendrapur. it has given
us so much that probably none of us could measure of; and still continues
its multiple streams of self-less efforts that only a few does in the
whole world. and today we are proud to say that we too were a part of
this noble institution.
Though it is impossible to repay our dear old institute, we decided to
do our level best to do something for the betterment of this noble institution
and see to it that the RKM Narendrapur continues its self-less efforts
as it always did. So, the class of 93 joined hands to raise funds that
will help RKM for their financial matters.
Besides, we also proposed to sponsor a few students of RKM Vidyalaya,
who are from economically under privileged section. The fund, in the memory
of our beloved friends Joydeep Bose and Soumen Mukherjee, whom we lost
in a couple of tragic incidents, will support financially dependent student
for a whole academic year. The scholarship will be awarded only to the
needful (like an orphan student for example), not for the students from
well off background. The school management will be held responsible for
using the fund in appropriate places and will periodically review the
performance of the student for further continuation of the scholarship
to him.
The money will be handed over to the school management in the beginning
of each new academic year. As of for now, we need to continue the fund
for atleast six years so that we can support a whole educational life-cycle
of a student (that is from class V to X).
Lastly, we would like to thank everybody who has expressed their willingness
to support the cause and to those too, whom we expect to be with us in
the future...wish us ALL the best for the future. God bless and may the
souls of our beloved soumen and joydeep rest in peace.
