GAURISAGAR: “From birth to death, this period is regarded as life. In the world, life is reviewed and analyzed,” stated Tuwaram Khanikor, noted educationist and former professor, SMD college, Charing,  while unveiling the Smaranika Parano Nigore published on the adyasharddhya of  social worker and former Gaon Pradhan (village headman) Katiram Borah, a resident of Gaurisagar on Tuesday.

Addressing the gathering, noted orator Khanikor said that this smaranika or the souvenirs are part of a great history. It contains the achievements of the person’s life, laughter and tears, achievements and discoveries, contributions to society, and the recognition given to him by society. There is a lot of information that can inspire the rising generation, he added. 

Khanikor said, “However, in Assam, people pay very little attention to the preservation of smaranika. But it is known that in West Bengal, people preserve this kind of smaranika.” The eminent educationist also described human life as blessed and rare because human beings have progress. Because of human progress, Balmiki became Ratnakar, Mohan Das Karamchand Gandhi became Mahatma Gandhi, which is not seen in other animals.

The meeting was chaired by Mrinanka Saikia, President, Smaranika Editorial Board, and was attended by Muhi Kanta Nath, founder Principal, Gaurisagar Junior College, and educationist Tarun Gogoi. Earlier, Rajib Kumar Dutta, senior journalist and Editor Parano Nigare, anchored the whole programme while Dr Ranjit Kumar Baruah, Principal, Dikhowmukh College, lit the lamp before the portrait of Katiram Borah. On behalf of Katiram Borah’s family, younger son Barun Borah expressed his sincere thanks to all. Notably, he announced in the meeting that he will shortly open a library for the preservation of smaranika and smriti ganthas at Gaurisagar.
