Sukher Sugandh

We are extremely happy with the initial success of “Sukher Sugandh” incense sticks. Through Sukher Chador’s Aastha Jyoti self-reliance project, we have not only provided one-time assistance to our visually impaired brothers and sisters to encourage their self-reliance but have also aimed to create a sustainable support system for them. Our goal is to enable them to carve their own path with confidence.

For this reason, Sukher Chador has been actively assisting visually impaired individuals in learning the process of making and selling incense sticks. They are constantly striving to maintain the quality of the incense sticks so that people are attracted to their fragrance and standard, rather than purchasing out of mere sympathy.

We are delighted to announce that, in the past month, the three batches of sandalwood and rose-scented incense sticks, along with mosquito-repellent incense, have been completely sold out! Encouraged by this success, they have now produced a fourth batch of Dhoono-Sandalwood scented incense, which is also receiving an enthusiastic response. Soon, in the fifth batch, they will manufacture four types of incense sticks: Sandalwood, Rose, Dhoono-Sandalwood, and Mosquito-Repellent.

Sukher Chador continues to provide all necessary support, and its members are wholeheartedly involved in making Sukher Sugandh incense sticks. Our commitment remains strong—to find happiness by spreading happiness.

Stay well, and spread happiness.

On the 5th Death Anniversary of Sujoy Ghosh Hazra…

Yesterday, on 6th March, Ruma Ghosh Hazra, a member of Sukher Chador from Berhampore, wished to arrange lunch for some underprivileged people in memory of her late husband, Sujoy Ghosh Hazra, on his 5th death anniversary. For the past five years, Didi has been commemorating this special day in the same way — through Sukher Chador.

Yesterday, Sukher Chador, in collaboration with “Help Homeless Foundation” from Ghatakpukur, South 24 Parganas — an organization that provides daily meals to around 50 homeless and mentally ill people along the roads from Sonarpur to Ghatakpukur — arranged food for 50 such individuals.

I personally accompanied Tapas Naskar, the head of the organization, and witnessed the 25-kilometer journey where we fed these homeless people. It was a truly moving experience for me.

Sending lots of love to our member Ruma Di, and heartfelt respect and prayers for the departed soul of Sujoy Ghosh Hazra.

A Daughter’s Humane Invitation on Her Wedding Day…

Yesterday, we visited Habra to attend the wedding of our daughter-like Nilanjana Das. We had received this invitation a year ago, and Nilanjana had one earnest wish — that some of us from Sukher Chador must be present at her wedding and accept a gift from her on behalf of Sukher Chador, thus fulfilling her heartfelt desire.

Yesterday, I, Goutam Banerjee, Rekha Sanyal, and Sabari Halder Roy were present at her wedding. Nilanjana lovingly handed over two beautiful red Benarasi sarees to us and, on behalf of her father-in-law, gifted us two bedsheets and a mosquito net. We were truly overwhelmed by the warmth and humanity of such kind-hearted people.

From Sukher Chador, we presented Nilanjana with a floral bouquet and our “Sukher Sugandh” incense sticks — made by our visually impaired brothers and sisters under our self-reliance project.

Throughout the year, Sukher Chador strives to stand beside the financially backward and helpless people of society through our 12 long-term projects. Among these, under the Aastha Jyoti Sukher Porinoy Project, we also extend support to financially challenged girls in their marriages.

Soon, the Benarasi sarees gifted by Nilanjana will adorn some other brides from struggling families as they sit at their wedding altars.

We appeal to everyone — in your moments of joy and celebration, or even in remembrance of loved ones, please spare a small fraction of your planned expenses to support helpless and underprivileged people, either directly or through any voluntary organization.

We wish Nilanjana and Suman a married life filled with happiness and joy — this is our heartfelt prayer.

Stay well, and keep spreading goodness.

A Humble Appeal: Seeking a Synthesizer for Our Music Class

🎹 We Need a Synthesizer 🎹

For the past 10 months, every Sunday at 11:30 AM, a music class has been running beautifully at Sukher Chador’s main office in New Barrackpore under the guidance of music teacher Shri Baidyanath Chakraborty.

Many visually impaired students attend this class regularly, where music education is provided completely free of cost with care and dedication. After class, tiffin is served to all students.

Recently, along with visually impaired students, we have also started teaching music to some financially weak but sighted students — also free of cost. Interested students are welcome to contact us.

In many cases, we have even provided harmoniums or tablas free of cost to extremely underprivileged but music-enthusiastic children. Similarly, if any kind-hearted brothers or sisters wish to donate their unused musical instruments, we gladly accept them for the benefit of our students.

At this moment, we urgently need an old, unused keyboard or synthesizer for our visually impaired brothers and sisters. If anyone is willing to donate, it would be of great help to us.

Stay well, and keep spreading goodness.

🖋 A Few Words on the New Workshop of Sukher Chador’s Self-Reliance Project 🙋

Today, Aastha Jyoti, a part of Sukher Chador’s self-reliance project, took a new step forward. For the past few days, our visually impaired brothers have been working tirelessly on a grand project – preparing thousands of packets of Sukher Sugandh incense sticks.

Alongside this, a special workshop was held at Sukher Chador’s office with a few skilled trainees from our sewing training center in Tarakeshwar. The main objective was to teach these women new skills and help them take a few more steps toward self-reliance. We hope these sisters will one day pass on their knowledge to others in their villages and create modern, marketable products aligned with changing times.

Joining this effort was their trainer, Asima Didi. We were fortunate to have Ratna Di, a retired teacher from South Point School and a well-wisher of Sukher Chador, who came all the way from Ballygunge to provide expert training. Also present were our members Tandra Kakima, Jhumurmoni (who works in Batik, Bandhani, and fashion design), Krishna Dasgupta (owner of her own boutique), Mallika, and Mousumi – all engaged in various creative fields.

The workshop ran from 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM, filled with energy and enthusiasm. Everyone expressed their eagerness to be part of many more such future endeavors.

We are hopeful that, moving forward, Sukher Chador will not limit itself to sewing but will also initiate new plans to support our underprivileged brothers and sisters, empowering them towards self-reliance in various ways.

To all members and well-wishers of Sukher Chador, we say – please continue supporting us. Let’s walk forward hand in hand, with unity and discipline, towards a brighter future for Sukher Chador.

Stay well, and keep spreading goodness.

A New Workshop under Sukher Chador’s Self-Reliance Project 🙋

Today, a new step was taken in Sukher Chador’s Aastha Jyoti Self-Reliance Project. Over the past few days, a significant project has been underway, focusing on our visually impaired brothers, who have been working hard to produce thousands of packets of fragrant incense sticks.

Amidst this, a special workshop was held at the Sukher Chador office, involving a group of students from the Tarakeshwar Sewing Training Center, which has been running for the past six months. The main objective of this session was to teach new techniques to skilled learners and help them take further steps toward self-reliance.

We hope that these women will, in turn, educate others in their villages and create modern products in line with contemporary demands. The workshop was attended by their teacher, Asima Didi, along with Ratna Di, a well-wisher of Sukher Chador and a former teacher, who traveled all the way from Ballygunge to provide valuable training.

Also present were:

  • Tandra Kakima
  • Jhumur Moni (who works with batik, bandhani, and fashion design)
  • Krishna Dasgupta (who owns a boutique)
  • Mallika and Mausumi, both involved in creative fields.

The session took place from 1 PM to 4 PM, filled with enthusiasm and dedication. Everyone expressed their eagerness to participate in similar future workshops.

We are hopeful that this initiative will go beyond just sewing and will expand into various other skill-based activities, helping our financially disadvantaged brothers and sisters become self-reliant. We invite all members and well-wishers of Sukher Chador to come forward and stand by this cause.

Let us move forward together, hand in hand, making Sukher Chador stronger and more impactful.
Let’s stay well and spread well-being to all.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
