[Assam] [Assam Society] A sad news

Fri Mar 16 07:15:13 EDT 2007

Dear Ankur

This is shocking. Please convey our deepest sympathies to his family and to
his larger family, Prajnalaya. This past January, we had plans to visit
Prajnalaya also, but unfortunately we just could not make it, and our
efforts were concentrated only in Guwahati.

We are glad that Jugal has been able to build a strong foundation for the
institute such that his noble work can continue. Prajnalaya should not take
his passing as a set back, but rather as a commitment to continue his ideals
and legacy.

  I am sad to share with you the news that Jugal Bhuyan is no more.

I have been associated with Jugal Bhuyan and Prajnalaya , the institution
established by him for the last one year. I visited Prajnalaya in April 2006
and was moved by the dedication and selfless service of this young man.  Jugal
Bhuyan almost single handedly built the school Prajnalaya 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.
