[Assam] A Correction about Er M Mahanta
Chan Mahanta

Wed Oct 10 08:57:57 CDT 2007
Mukul Mahanta , has studied many different fields of engineering, in
addition to what he did his B.Tech, M.Tech and Post Grad studies in
Britain--that was in Instrumentation. He also studied building
sciences very extensively, and undertook the pre-fabrication of
hollow concrete assemblies both for insulated and light-weight walls
as well as floor slabs; all on his own.
What differentiates MM's engineering from most is his HANDS on
involvement and the desire and ability to produce/build what he
designs, so very critical in a developing society.
I am the one trained as an architect and in private practice in the
USA, I did not return to Assam and had nothing to do with MM's
enterprises and efforts.
MM not only built Parag Das' house but also was his collaborator in
developing the intellectual basis and technical foundations for a
sovereign Assam. While Prag Das was the public face, MM provided the
research and the technical back-up.
MM also provided the technical expertise and pre-fabricated
components for many extremely low cost structures around the region.
A few of his very low cost but ergonomically perfect bamboo furniture
can be seen at:

They can also be seen at many places all over Assam.
