From Roots to Wings: Swapan Suin’s Vision Flourishes at Safalya Academy

At Safalya Academy, the educational wing of the Sukher Swarga Foundation, we believe that true protection for our community comes in two forms: environmental and intellectual. 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.




We are overjoyed to share that our mission has been bolstered by the kindness of two noble sisters from Kolkata, Amishi Agarwal and Prabha Poddar. They have generously donated essential educational kits and sports equipment to help our children soar.

Merging Conservation with Education

Our founder, Swapan Suin, often says, "The roots of the mangrove do more than just hold the soil; they hold our future." Similarly, the education at Safalya Academy is designed to give our children deep roots in knowledge and wings to fly toward their dreams.

The arrival of these new materials—ranging from musical instruments to practical learning tools—directly supports Swapan’s mission to:

 Move Beyond Textbooks: Bridging the gap between theory and reality through practical kits.

 Nurture Creativity: Allowing children to express themselves through music and art.

 Empower the Next Generation: Giving children in remote regions the same quality resources as those in the city.




A Heartfelt Salute to Our Supporters

We extend our deepest gratitude to Amishi Agarwal and Prabha Poddar. Your generosity doesn't just provide "things"—it provides the tools for change. By supporting Safalya Academy, you are joining Swapan Suin in his lifelong commitment to the people and the land of the Sundarbans.

Glimpses of Joy

As Swapan Suin welcomed these materials to the campus, the atmosphere was electric with the children's laughter. Below, we are sharing some pictures of our students exploring their new gifts—moments where curiosity meets opportunity.

We seek your continued blessings and cooperation as the Sukher Swarga Foundation continues to grow. Together, we are building a "Heaven of Happiness" for the children who will lead us tomorrow.

With Gratitude,

 The Team at Safalya Academy (An Initiative of Sukher Swarga Foundation)

  ​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. Led by a remarkable team of dedicated youth—28-year-old Swapan Suin( CEO), a Sukher Swarga Foundation fellow; Anirban Das, our foundation's director; Tarun Mandal, a 29-year-old from India's narcotics department; and Rudrendu Giri, a 26-year-old math teacher—Safalya Pathsala was born.

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...
