coorditor of the Purbuttar Bahubhasiya Brahman Rastriya Adivesan Dr. Iresh Ranjan

Bhattacharjee spoke on the occasion.

The various speakers lamented that the UNESCO has declared Veda as "Intangible heritage of humanity" in 2003 and 2007 and has asked for its immediate protection, so that no further deteriorations could happen. But the Government of India has not yet taken initiative to protect Vedas. Through ages, only Brahmins are capable of protecting Vedas and Vedic culture generation wise with origil fervor and tone. And none could replace Brahmins in this regard. Appropriate measures for protection of spiritual, economic and social culture should therefore be extended to

Brahmins. It was decided to submit a memorandum to the Govt of India at New Delhi at an earliest detailing all features. To ascertain exact figure of population, a census of Brahmins are urged to be conducted without delay. The states Govt have been urged to provide Development Council for Brahmins, as have been provided to other ethnic groups.

The demands were also made to establish Vedic University in every state, to establish Parshuram Kund as 'Dham" and to declare it as tourism site of the north-east India.

For successful holding of the Adhivesan, Binod Bharti, Arbind Pandey, Jayant Bhattacharyya, newly elected local councilors Smt Bharti Dubey, Smt Susmita

Bhattachajee and others were conferred "Brahman Kula Alankar" Certificates by the

World Brahman Organization. A video CD titled "Param Dham Parshuram Kund Dorshon" prepared by Magal Pandey, Mukul Gogoi and Shobbu as well as Souvenir of the Parshuram Sarbabhashiya Brahman Sangha, gpur were released on the occasion.
