From Mangroves to Minds: Swapan Suin Welcomes Kolkata Donors to Safalya Academy

 

At the Sukher Swarga Foundation, we believe that protection comes in many forms. For years, our founder, Swapan Suin—widely known as the "Mangrove Boy of India"—has been building a natural shield for the Sundarbans by planting over 5 lakh mangroves. Today, under his visionary leadership, we are planting a different kind of seed: the seed of education and empowerment.



A Landmark Visit for our 150 Students

Currently, Safalya Academy is home to 150 students, providing a modern educational oasis in a remote region. We were honored to host a group of distinguished and kind-hearted guests from Kolkata who came to see how Swapan Suin’s mission has expanded from environmental conservation to academic excellence.

The donors spent time interacting with the children and were deeply moved by the foundation’s work. Together with Mr. Suin, they discussed constructive plans to ensure these 150 students have the resources to compete with the best in the country.

  ​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.

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...
