Sri. Subhas Chandra Kundu

February 17, 2008 marked the beginning of a new chapter in the diary of 'Eso Kichhu Kori'. A new journey too, as we embarked to celebrate EKK's belated birthday on 15^th February in search of warmth looking into the corridors of a monument.

 

Sri Subhash Chandra Kundu is such a person who is more of a saint than any conventional teacher. A teacher with an indomitable passion for education and only education, he himself is an institution. Education is nothing but an arduous practice to him.

A man of extreme caliber, Sri Subhash Chandra Kundu knows no stopping. To every student irrespective of age of Basirhat (North 24 Parganas) and nearby areas, 'Sir' is akin to demi-god and more of a parent than their real parents. And to the general people, he is a living legend. The magnificent physics laboratory set up at his home entirely by himself speaks volumes for him.

His care, dedication, diligence and determination are a lesson for lives to come. In this booming world of increasing glamour & glitz and diminishing values & ethics, Sri Subhash Chandra Kundu stands tall. Life challenged him with all its usual tricks & plays and he could do only one thing – challenge it back!!! And he emerged victorious to make an ideal of a lifetime.We could not have found a better recipient for EKK's first 'Borenyo Somman'08'.

 

We reached his residence at Basirhat just to spend some time with this icon. We tried to keep the program non-glamorous and simple in every sense, as we never wished to let him feel uncomfortable.

The program was intended to be short yet compact as we wished not to kill much of his time too.

 

EKK's theme song - 'Aguner Poroshmoni' was the opening song of the program. At the beginning, our beloved 'Sir' was greeted with a bouquet by Smt. Tania De (Member, EKK). Then Smt. Sushmita Ray imparted him with a shawl.Smt. Abira Ghosh (Secretary, EKK) followed next to confer the memento to him.Sri Tilak Gupta (Joint Secretary, EKK) bestowed Sir with the address of honour (Maanpotro) and read it to the audience.
