Whenever SEVAA feels that some sort of support we need to provide to anybody or in any situation beyond normal project based recurring expenditure is termed as "We Support" activity. Every year we spend more than 10% of our annual expenditure on these activities.

Financial support for students undertaking higher education. Selection criteria focus on merit and students from economically disadvantaged families.

Sudur Pathshala Version 0.1 (COVID Period)

During COVID-19, when schools remained closed for more than two years, SEVAA recognized that meritorious but poor students in rural Bengal were deprived of learning opportunities. We initiated e-classes to bridge this gap.

Program Scale:

• 26 schools across 13 districts
• 28 dedicated teachers
• Daily classes except Sunday

Schedule:

• Evening classes: 6:30 PM - 9:00 PM
• Three class sessions per day
• Eligible students from rural areas

The program successfully concluded in 2022 when schools reopened.

Sudur Pathshala Version 0.2 (Teacher Shortage Solution)

In 2023, we identified a new need: many schools, especially in rural areas, lacked subject teachers due to recruitment difficulties in West Bengal.

Pilot Project Discovery: The need was first identified at our projected Girls High School, which had been running without a Mathematics teacher for three years after retirement. We equipped the school with a SMART Room enabling two-way communication for effective teaching.

Current Implementation:

• 10 schools participating
• Classes 9-12 covered
• During regular school hours
• Integrated time scheduling

Subjects Offered: Mathematics, Life Science with interactive two-way classes and real-time student participation.

Vision: Multiple schools with deficiency of the same subject teacher can be brought under one umbrella for broader service provision.
