Parijat Academy : An young man’s dream to fulfill his mission

The place is Pamohi located on the outskirts of Assam’s capital Guwahati. The school is located in an area that is mostly inhabited by tribal people, comprising about ten tribal villages with approximately seven thousand people There are five stone quarries located in that area and most of the people work as a daily wage earner in the quarry. While the parents

 
worked in the quarry, their children

would wonder around all-day, some

of them venturing dangerously close

to the stone quarry. Th recent incident

of a woman losing her life as a stone

blasted and hit her while she was

working there needs to be mentioned.

A young man Uttam Terron, started to

think about a way to keep these kids

engaged in a safer environment during

the day when their parents were out.

This is how the school Parijat Academy

was born. AFNA has been supporting

Parijat Academy. Parijat Academy is

making a good progress so far . They

are planning to build a hostel for the

children who have to travel 30 miles

to reach the school. Hiren and Usha

Sarma of Houston and Tez Hazarika

recently visited Parijat academy.

Prajnalaya

'Prajnalaya' a place where wisdom is sought in a school run with collective efforts in the midst of natural surroundings of an interior place Titabar.

Jugal Bhuyan started working for Pragyalaya in a remote village in the Jorhat district of Assam. in year 2002. His only capital at that time was a piece of land obtained from his grandmother’s property and a few thousand rupees he earned through manual labor. He started the school building with that money. His friend Bitu gogoi , encouraged by jugal’s work managed Rs 50,000 as loan and with that money Jugal completed the School building and also the residential quarters of Pragyalaya named Ashtha. In Ashtha , the children get free food, clothing and education. Today, Pragyalaya, the school has more than 180 students and around eighty of them stay in the hostel. Some of the students are orphans, some of their parents are too poor to provide them education. Pragyalaya is trying for the overall personality development of these kids, teaching them the rich cultural heritage of our country along with the regular coursework.
