ChangeWeCan


My name is Diganta Kataki, and I am a recent graduate from University of South Carolina- Moore School of Business. I am from Assam and I came to USA in 2009. 
I just read your article in Assam Tribune. It was forwarded to me by Mr. Debojit Bora.
This is really good work put up by few energetic Indians. I am very sure there are thousands more (including me) out there who feel the same way, and would like to help in a similar manner. Ankur, I really enjoyed reading your article- very well written and inspiring. Keep up the good work!  Since I am from Assam, I believe we should connect in some manner, either through email or phone or in Person. That would be a good start to know one another and see how I can put in my efforts to your noble work.
I would also like to thank Assam Tribune for bringing up such topics to our notice. I hope to see more engagements from the International Assamese Community towards the development and spirit of the Assamese youth. Cheers! DIGANTA KATAKI, University of South Carolina , USA

The 5th commandment

Readers Comments I have followed with great admiration the amazing journey of Wahid, my classmate( proud to say that)  from the school days in Jorhat, in those dreamy days. Not only the younger generations, he inspires me a lot--at times feel 'wish I had the tenacity, the enthusiasm and drive'  that Wahid shows in anything he takes up. Certainly an icon for the younger generations. Thanks for publishing a lovely write up. Madan Prasad Bezbaruah , former secretary tourism, Government of India .

PursuitofExcellence

In the last few years, a number of articles of  the author have been published in the newspapers of Assam.

The lone Ranger

Assam Police officer Kuladhar Saikia was investigating a brutal killing of five innocent men in the name of witches. Among the suspects was a young boy, who apparently joined the villagers in fatally hitting his own father. The incident stirred the conscience of everyone present; Saikia realized that something beyond traditional policing was needed; after critical and objective analysis of these phenomena, a new approach to Community policing was conceptualized, which, later transformed the lives and economies of hundreds of isolated and backward communities across Assam. I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Saikia in the year 2008, I myself as an executive of Assam Foundation of North America (AFNA) and Friends of Assam and Seven Sisters (FASS) had been exploring ways and means to engage and nurture such projects. Saikia, was curious about everything I was doing and he made me feel instantly at ease. We sat and talked about everything, the conversation just flowed. I absorbed wi...
