A Home Away From Home
Being motivated with the philosophy of Swami Vivekananda, Mousumi Roy started this hostel on 12th Jan 2007, National Youth Day, the birthday of Swami Vivekananda.
The hostel provides the students with a homely ambience. SHIMUL CHHAYA provides the girls with all the necessary facilities to help them to acclimatize well with this new ambience and teach them to become self reliant.
Located at 98, Sarat Bose Colony, Kol-78, near Dhakuria Station, just opposite to Kapibagan Water Tank. It offers pleasant and secure accommodation in single, twin sharing, and triple or four bedded rooms.
“A man does not live in years but in deeds......”
— Swami VivekanandaOur Philosophy & Vision
There are so many brilliant girl childs, who can change the nation, struggling to survive. Shimul stretches its arms towards them.
Technology of Participation
There are 3 D’s in life: Desire, Determination & Dedication. You need all 3 to reach your goal. But it all starts with the 4th D….Do it. If you feel you can do it, the way to the TOP (Technology of Participation) is not impossible.
The Shimul Metaphor
For a woman to be successful, she has to grow everyday. The life of a woman is like Shimul (the famous indigenous flower of Bengal) — the cotton is economically the most important crop of Bengal and essential for life.
Education & Self Reliance
Shimul believes that if a woman develops her own natural attributes and imbibes those to others, a true change is possible. Only an Educated, Skilled, healthy and rational mother can build a rational society.
Constructive Activities & Methodology
Shimul takes up constructive activities in all walks of life which go to uplift and enrich our life. The mechanism is to organize workshops, cultural programmes, exhibitions, road-shows, conferences, seminars, lectures, camps, get-togethers and other programmes to create awareness amongst the masses.
For doing all these, Shimul takes moral support from the Government and its various agencies but avoids financial assistance so that basically it remains a participatory effort. Shimul manages its activities through the resources from the sale of Painting and other products, books, exhibitions, CSR programmes, Job Work, Advertisements, Sponsorship and voluntary contributions.
