[Assam] Appeal for donation of books to Assam Association, Delhi library

Sun Sep 3 01:38:15 EDT 2006

Thanks Mukulda, for the support! We shall happily accept the donation. Also
please try if you can arrange for some more from your circle.

Hi Rajenda, Ajantaba, Chandanda.... The name "Sankaradeva Bhawan" was
decided much before "x" or "s" regime, and hence cannot be changed now by
myself. We have added the word "Srimanta" on the advise of Mr. Vinod Kumar
Pipersenia, an IAS officer belonging to Assam cadre. His argument was-if we
ourselves donot add honorific to our great persons, who else would!

Regarding bearing the cost of shipping from US, I don't know "whether it
will be kerelatkoi gutee dighol..:)". We shall be obliged if the books are
sent on CIF basis. There will be clear credit given to the donor.
Alternatively one can donate in foreign currency. We have FCRA clearance and
an account  with State Bank of  India  dedicated for  the purpose.

MM'da-next time you come for talks, welcome to stay in our "raizor"
building. You can have a glimpse of the building at www.assamassociation.org"-
it has since improved a lot. We have 10 rooms and three dormitories [26
seats {20 men & 6 women}]. Donations of Rs. 1200/- , Rs 800/-, Rs. 500/-
(non AC) are accepted towards our Trust for using the facility. Dormitory
charge is Rs. 100/- per bunk bed.

Cheers to all!

Manoj
