SuMargadarshak:Nurturing Dreams&Transforming Lives

By Krupalatha Martin Dass | Founder | CEO

SuMargadarshak is a scholarship and mentoring program designed to support the transition from college to university. An extension of SuKallp, it focuses on the formative teen years, fostering a safe and supportive environment where teens can express themselves and receive guidance toward success.Students in SuMargadarshak receive training in their college curriculum, along with classes in personality development, values, goal-setting, skills development, career guidance, and mentoring, led by volunteers from various companies.In 2023-24, we proudly achieved a 79% pass rate for 10th-grade students, many of whom were accepted into top colleges. These students are now part of SuMargadarshak, where they continue to enhance their skills through training in design thinking, social media, and art therapy workshops. Additionally, they helped school students perform a song about the preamble to the constitution.

The students of Sumargadarshak are currently pursuing a diverse range of academic disciplines, including Humanities, Science, Education, Arts, Computer Applications, Microbiology, Commerce, Journalism, and Psychology. As they approach their semester examinations, we extend our heartfelt wishes for success and achievement. These students have demonstrated resilience, hard work, and dedication throughout the semester, and we are confident that their efforts will shine through in their upcoming exams. Best of luck to all the students as they embark on this important academic milestone. 

1.  Art therapy Workshop (7th July 2024)

 

On 07 July 2024, Ms. Asha Ma’am  conducted a Creative Expression & Art Assessment Workshop for 38 SuMargadarshak students, aimed at assessing art skills, fostering creativity, and introducing Indian folk art. The workshop included three engaging sessions:

  1. Session 1:
    Students explored creativity through themed artwork on nature, emotions, and dreamland. They were also divided into groups for a creativity test, where they created short stories with illustrations based on random words. This session encouraged collaboration and sparked laughter with funny and imaginative stories.
  2. Session 2:
    The second session introduced Gond Art, inspired by Jangarh Singh Shyam, a renowned artist from the Gond tribe. Students learned about the vibrant colors and dot patterns characteristic of Gond art and then created their own designs. They also participated in a quiz to reinforce their understanding of Gond art.
  3. Session 3:
    In the final session, students applied their knowledge of Gond art by creating their own pieces using art supplies. This allowed them to experiment with new ideas and patterns, producing beautiful and expressive artwork.

The workshop was a success, providing students with a deeper understanding of Gond art and offering them a fun, hands-on experience in creative expression.
