[Assam] A sad news

[shantikam hazarika]

It is a shattering news. First of all we pray that his soul rests in peace.

The most important thing is that the institution he built must be sustained 
after his departure. Anything I can do, I shall be very happy to do.

We never knew that he was suffering from some ailment. We did not even know 
that he was in GNRC. It is a tragic loss.

Shantikam Hazarika

>and the residential hostel ASHTHA to provide quality education to the poor 
>and underprivileged students in a remote village of Assam. Today Prajnalaya 
>is becoming a model school in that area. A sensitive human being who 
>believes in honesty, sincerity, and hard work Jugal Bhuyan taught the young 
>students the dignity of labor and their responsibility to the surrounding 
>people. He believes that education should be responsive to the society and 
>set example by arranging fund raising and relief camp for the flood 
>victims.

>   Off late Jugal Bhuyan was suffering from ill health. He was admitted to 
>Guwahati Neurological Center. I talked to him last Sunday. He was weakening 
>physically but his spirit was still high. He was talking about starting 
>vocational education unit in Prajnalaya.  I was telling him to take rest 
>but he continued with his effort. He had the dream that one-day students of 
>Prajnalaya would show examples of good citizen and the true meaning of 
>education.
>
>   It was Thursday March 15th, Jugal Bhuyan was leading an all religion, 
>all community evening prayer with the students when he collapsed and he 
>never regained consciousness.
>
>   Jugal Bhuyan is no more with us but I wish Prajnalaya students would 
>carry his legacy. I talked with Dr. Suresh Rajkhowa and Moon Moon Bora of 
>Prajnalaya. Amidst the gloom and sadness they showed resilience and I am 
>hopeful that Jugal Bhuyan’s dream will come true one day.
