The River Took Him: A Sundarbans Tragedy

 The rivers of the Sundarbans are often shrouded in a veil of mystery. These waterways provide a livelihood but also take lives, and such was the case with Sunil Mondal.



He went to the river to fish on a Thursday afternoon and never returned. His colleagues initially thought he might have gone elsewhere, but after an extensive search, there was no sign of him. Soon, rumors began to spread among the locals, with some speculating, "A crocodile must have taken him." This news devastated his family and the villagers.


After a two-day search, Sunil's lifeless body was found just 100 meters from where he was last fishing. The bite marks on his body pointed to a crocodile attack. However, the exact cause of his death remains unknown, making the incident even more tragic. The rivers of the Sundarbans repeatedly remind us how helpless humans can be in their struggle against nature.

  ​In the heart of the Sundarbans, a place of immense beauty and persistent challenges, a new story of hope is being written. Our community, while resilient, has long grappled with limited access to quality education. But where others saw an obstacle, a group of young, passionate individuals saw an opportunity to make a difference. This is the story of Safalya Pathsala. SAFALYA PATHSALA, SANDESHKHALI SUNDARBANS  ​It all began in 2018.

What started as a humble coaching center in Manipur, Purba Atapur, Dhuchnikhali, has grown into a powerful force for change. ​For eight years, Safalya Pathsala has been a sanctuary for learning.

The Sundarbans is a special place, World Heritage Site/ Biosphere Reserve/ National Park/ Wildlife sanctuary/ Tiger Reserve full of amazing nature. But it's also a place that needs protection from climate change. Mangrove trees are the best natural defense, and a group called the Sukher Swarga Foundation, Top 10 Sundarban Grassroots NGO is doing incredible work to protect them. This year, 2025 the foundation has done something amazing. They grew 100,000 (one lakh) mangrove saplings in their nursery with the support of Self help Group Women till now. That's a huge number and shows just how dedicated they are to their mission. They don't just use these saplings for one thing.

It's a great way to work together.    Their Own Projects : They also use many of the saplings for their own planting projects. T...
