Village Dispensary in Ramkrishnanagar, Assam

In a recent trip to India, and Bangladesh (Nov 24, 1999-Jan 12, 2000), Subijoy Dutta, a volunteer of the foundation, visited his native village, Ramkrishnanagar, in Cachar, Assam, INDIA along with Dr. K.K. (Lakhsman) Das from Silchar. His grandfather, Late Surja Kumar Dutta established their first settlement in India back in early 1940s at this two-acre hillock. Their caretaker, the Purkayasthas, collect their crops and other taxes from the people farming at their land on lease.

During the visit Mr. Dutta has initiated a new venture to build a Dispensary/Clinic there. During this visit we have initiated a new venture to build a Dispensary/Clinic there. After the arrangements are made for the building construction and a telephone connection in this remote dispensary, Dr. K.K. Das will make arrangements to man the dispensary with paramedics and Nurses. Dr. Das is also planning to pay occasional visits to this satellite facility.

A tax-exempt/charitable foundation has been set up in Calcutta (Kolkata), India, for that purpose, namely, Dutta Charitable Medical centre (DCMC) Foundation. DCMC has been collecting charitable contribution from people in India, US, and other countries. If you'd like to contribute, please send a check directly (payable to "Yamuna Foundation for Blue Water") to either address below:
