The Sahityarathi Laxmith Bezbaruah Memorial Lecture, held on the occasion on the topic ‘Xahityrathi Laxmith Bezbaruah Aru Adhunik Chinta Cheto’ (Sahityarathi Lakshmith Bezbaruah and Modern Thought) was addressed by the Associate Professor of Assamese Department, Dibrugarh University (DU), Dr Jayanta Kumar Borah who was the chief guest.  The proramme, organized by the Assamese Department in association with the Interl Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC) of the college, was chaired by the Principal, Dr Khanindra Mishra Bhagawati.

His creative conscience influenced a deep sense of novelty on the Assamese literary thought because of his closeness with the Bengal reissance in the second part of the 19th century as well as romanticism of European literature blended in Indian heritage.”
