Singapore Indian Development Association

The Singapore Indian Development Association (SINDA) is a charity for the Singaporean Indian community. Set up to focus on educational 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" available for each ethnic community in Singapore — which also include the Chinese Development Assistance Council, Eurasian Association and Yayasan Mendaki — which provide a variety of programmes and services to assist its community. It is the only SHG to have its own family service centre, which assists communities on interpersonal and family-related issues.

SINDA's programmes revolve primarily around the themes of education, youth, family and children, social and financial assistance, and community.
