| Creation of this Organization: |

Introduction I, Dr. Hasimaddin Mollah, Secretary of the organization. He was born and brought up in a very remote village at Khaspur, Block- Khargram, Dist- Murshidabad.There was no better communication and educational Institution from this village for study. We walk on 6 k.m. (up &down ) per day then we reach to school .That is why when I grown up and wants to better study my father transfer my school at Rampurhat, I had taken shelter my uncle's home . Gradually, I had passed H.S. with good result and get a chance of M.B.B.S. and want to fulfill my aim. About ten years, I had stay outside the village for my study. After completion of my study (M.B.B.S. D.M.C.H) I had joined first Red Cross Hospital for remote area of Murshidabad. I also participate their many Rural Health Service Programme, Social and cultural activities. Gradually, I empowered myself through their programmes. Then, I had to feel my about my area and I come back to home saw in my inside eye and compared of our neighbors , villagers with others, how they were facing problems.
There is no communication with the block and district town. People are suffering most in the time of rainy season, flood and natural disaster. Every year majority area of the district Murshidabad had flooded. In these year 1999, 2000, 2006 majority Blocks (Margram Khargram Nabagram , Kandi , Salar, BharatpurBarowan Gokarna and others ) of our districts were flooded by the river Daroka and Brahmoni, Ganga and Padma . Many people affected, died and missing every year. Many tribal villages also affected. We saw how peoples cried and suffered and struggled for save their life. They are facing food crisis, drinking water and taking shelter in the tent. In this time as a doctor I also joined the relief work with the Red Cross Society and UNICEF, Bharat Sebasram Sangba, Luthern World Services. I feel this relief work is not sufficient at the moment. After passing the danger period, peoples had to need a strong base for better treatment facility and health checkup unit and integrated livelihood development steps. For bad communication and lack of initiation villagers do not overcome this gap. They are suffering various problems which were inter linkage in their future life. They want to need faithful and co-operative feelings to share how to improve then crisis situation. Basically, they do not where to go and who is the man to solve properly. Gradually, I feel the situation and thinking and do not know how to start first.
In the year 2005, after flood I start first free health check up camp of schools students of our area for save our children with my tiny effort. I encouraged and support them mentally for overcome of any struggle and to continue their study. Some meritorious students also drop out for their illness, starvation, poverty and not do get many proper guidance. I shocked, then I gradually feel that I am a health personnel but I had to need some broad minded group of people who will be devoted and concern for the development of our locality. Some people united and set our objectives and form a body and start a society room on the bus top road side of village Khaspur. This is made by bamboo bera and mud wall with the help of our children. But some motivated people accidentally broken this room within five months.
 After this event, some guardians and students taking an imitative for re-establishment, and this school transfer to another place which is spontaneously help by a illiterate woman, named -Lakshimon Bibi, my mother -Aslima Bibi, father- Abubakkar Mollah , brother Anikul Molllah Said ul Mollah, Zakkar Mollah ,who are help me time to time.
Gradually, I started many health programmes of our school and started nursery school and other awareness programme in every Sunday.
Many people came and attached with this society. Now, a group of people who are voluntarily working with us. Then we apply the NGO named SWASTHYA UNNAYAN FOR NATION (SUN) for registration and it is registered by Societies registration act, in 2008 Govt, of West Bengal, India. Now we purchase a land for school, wants to develop a concrete shed and development of healthy environment of our area.
