Any one knows about SINDA?

Indian Self Help Organisation.

The Singapore Indian Development Association (SINDA) is a self-help group (SHG), that was formed in August 1991 to address the pressing educational and socio-economic issues facing the Indian community in Singapore.

Between September 1990 and March 1991, the Action Committee on Indian Education (ACIE) discussed issues facing the Indian community. The ACIE presented a report, 'At The Crossroads' to the Government in July 1991. This report highlighted the educational under-performance of Indian students and recommended wide-ranging remedial measures.


In this light, SINDA aims to raise the educational performance of Indian students. It also aims to promote family unity and helps in the social and economic development of Singapore Indians.
