How it became possible?
Chandmoni is a 10th class student. Her father died 10 years ago. Currently, she is living in a small slum with her mother and two other sisters. Their house has been damaged by the recent Cyclone Amphan. The hardships have intensified in the lockdown period. At present, food is being served at a relative’s house.
She is a student of Sardeshwari Kanya Vidyapeeth in Itachuna village under the Chunchura sub-division of Hooghly district. Their house is in Bara Munti village of Pandua Khanyan. Chandmoni’s family has been suffering from financial difficulties as her father died a decade ago. Her mother Malti Hembrum is looking after Chandmoni and her two sisters with great difficulty by cutting paddy on other people’s land.
But the desire to sing did not die in the midst of hundreds of problems and acute destitution. There is no opportunity to take any training for singing. After listening to the music on a grandfather’s music system in the house at the next door, the practice goes on. The people are informing the two teachers about the art of turning the wheel of life.

Besides cutting paddy with her mother, Chandmoni continues to study and sing. Chandmoni surprised everyone by singing like Neha Kakkar’s ‘O Hamsafar’, ‘Shokhi, Bhabona Kahare Bole’ of Rabindranath Tagore on an empty throat.
Shyam Hansda of Hooghly, a teacher by profession, came to deliver relief and captured Chandmoni’s song on his mobile phone and spread it on social media. Chandmoni’s song went viral from Shyam Hansda’s Facebook page which reached to more than 10 lakhs of people. Besides, Chiranjit Dhivar, a teacher from Durgapur, posted the song on his Facebook page and it quickly went viral. Everyone liked her effortless singing style. The net-world has filled the girl with praise.
