SILCHAR, August 10: In order to perpetuate the memory of Pritam Bhattacharjee, a meritorious student and research scholar of this town, a move has been initiated to create “Keshav Smarak Samiti–Pritam Bhattacharjee Memorial Fund” by his father Dr Sankar Bhattacharjee, retired principal of Women’s College, for awarding gold medal, mementos and cash prizes to three deserving students of Barak Valley. This memorial function will be held in a most serene and sublime atmosphere at 4.30 pm on Sunday in the Guru Charan College Auditorium. Dr Sankar Bhattacharjee is the president of Keshav Smarak Samiti.
Prof Somnath Das Gupta, Vice–Chancellor of Assam University, will adorn the chair of the chief–guest of the programme, while Atin Das, senior journalist and poet will preside over the event. Dipak Bhattacharjee, ex–MLA and president, “Justice for Pritam Forum” and Dr NC Malakar, Principal in charge, GC College, will be the guests of honour.
