Who is Swapan Suin and why he started Sukher Swarga Foundation, Sundarbans grassroots NGO

 The story of Safalya Academy is a story of hope, resilience, and a deep love for the Sundarbans. It begins not with a grand plan or a wealthy benefactor, but with a young man named Swapan Suin and his simple, profound dream.

Swapan Suin, Founder, SSF

Born into a humble family in the village + post office - Purba Atapur, Police station - Sandeshkhali, North 24 parganas, West Bengal, Pin - 743446, Sundarbans, Swapan knew firsthand the struggles of getting a quality education. He navigated his own journey through school with the help of kind organizations and caring individuals. complete his graduation with ENGLISH honours from Calcutta University, DLED from West bengal board of primary education. Qualified CTET PAPER 1 AND 2 , WB TET also , having MSW etc as a part time teacher of Manipur M b c High school. But unlike many who might leave their past behind, Swapan carried the lessons of his upbringing and the needs of his community close to his heart. He returned home with a burning question: "What can I do for my Sundarbans?"

He saw the annual devastation of cyclones and floods. He and his friends would rush to distribute relief, but he knew this wasn't a lasting solution. He started planting mangroves( 4.8 lakhs mangroves planted) —nature’s own barrier against the storms. But as a teacher, his true calling lay in planting something even more vital: the seeds of education.

And so, Sukher Swarga Foundation was born. Its first, most precious project was Safalya Academy, a school built from the ground up by the community itself. Starting with three small coaching centers, the foundation began its work in 2018, bringing quality education to a region where it was desperately needed.

Today, Safalya Academy is more than just a school; it's a testament to the idea that a single person, fueled by passion and supported by their community, can spark a revolution. Swapan and his team have big dreams—to build a residential school for students from classes 6 to 12, creating a safe and stable environment for learning. They also want to establish combined exam centers to help local youth prepare for government jobs, giving them a real chance at a brighter future.

The journey hasn't been easy. The lack of funding is a constant challenge, but it has not broken their spirit. Every student who walks through the doors of Safalya Academy is a step forward. Every mangrove planted is an act of defiance against the storms. Every small success is a beacon of hope, showing that with a little help and a lot of heart, the Sundarbans can blossom.







Safalya Academy is more than a school; it's the realization of Swapan's vision. It’s a place where students don’t just learn to read and write; they learn to dream, to build, and to protect the land they call home. It is a true haven of hope in the heart of the Sundarbans.

  ​In the heart of the Sundarbans, a place of immense beauty and persistent challenges, a new story of hope is being written.

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.

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. They have two main goals:   Helping Others : They sell a lot of their saplings to other non-profit groups (NGOs). This helps more people plant trees and protect more areas. It's a great way to work together.    Their Own Projects : They also use many of the saplings for their own planting projects. T...
