DIBRUGARH: Established in December 2024, Nokhyotro– A Journey of Light is an emerging non-governmental voluntary organization dedicated to community uplift through education and awareness. Since its inception, the members of Nokhyotro have been actively involved in spreading awareness on various social issues, especially focusing on education, creativity, and holistic child development.
On July 13, Nokhyotro conducted an educational awareness programme at Barbaruah tea estate under the guidance of Abhijit Chakravarty, a core member of the organization. The event was organized by Anshuman Chakraborty, with the participation of 18 dedicated interns currently undergoing training with the NGO.
The programme involved an intensive door-to-door campaign in the tea garden area, where the team interacted directly with local families. The primary aim was to raise awareness about the importance of education in personal, intellectual, spiritual, and societal growth. The volunteers emphasized how education plays a crucial role in shaping the new generation and fostering community development.
In addition to formal education, the Nokhyotro team also highlighted the relevance of co-curricular and life skills-based learning. They discussed the importance of art forms like music, dance, drama, and practical knowledge related to daily life. These activities were explained as essential tools for nurturing confidence, creativity, and emotional development among children and youth.
The initiative received an overwhelmingly positive response from the local community, who appreciated the efforts and enthusiasm of the young volunteers.
Since its founding, Nokhyotro has been conducting regular Sunday sessions with children in the Barbaruah area, inviting expert educators to teach various subjects. After fruitful discussions with local stakeholders, the organization plans to extend these learning sessions to the nearby primary school to ensure greater access and continuity.
Currently limited to the Barbaruah region due to resource constraints, Nakshatra envisions expanding its reach across the Dibrugarh district and eventually throughout Assam. The organization’s mission to empower through education reflects a hopeful and constructive message for society, a true journey of light led by the youth for a brighter tomorrow.
