After being felicitated at the event, he said, “Language is the reflection of a community, without it a community would not exist. If language survives, the community will survive so we should work on it. In this regard, Hemchandra Baruah has given a new lease of life.”

“Before sending my children to study abroad, I took a promise from them that the education they will receive by studying there should be fruitfully utilized in Assam. They have kept their promise and are now working devotedly in Sadin-Pratidin Group,” he said.
