Singapore Indian Development Association

The Singapore Indian Development Association (SINDA) is a not-for-profit charity for the Singaporean Indian community. Set up to focus on academic performance and socio-economic matters, its mission is to “build a well-educated, resilient and confident community of Indians that stands together with other communities in contributing to the progress of multi-racial Singapore”.

SINDA is one of four "Self-Help groups" (SHGs) in Singapore alongside the Chinese Development Assistance Council (CDAC), Eurasian Association (EA) and Yayasan Mendaki. These groups provide a variety of programmes and services to benefit and uplift their respective communities. SINDA is the only SHG to have its own family service centre, which assists with social, financial and family-related issues.

SINDA runs over 100 programmes, and these revolve primarily around the thrusts of education, youth, family and children, social and financial assistance, and community.
