FriendsAnnouncing the FASS Program:Let There Be Light for Education in Assam
and Seven Sisters' .(সাত ভ্নী অসমত শিক্ষাৰ পোহৰ হওক)
Friends of Assam and Seven Sisters (FASS) is taking up a humble project to
distribute Solar Reading Lamps free of cost to deserving students in Assam and
Seven Sisters (ie>North East India). This may be a very high sounding ambitious
project. However, our goal is not to boast of our ambition, but basically also
to bring an awareness to all concerned about the pathetic condition of
electrification in general in North East India, and try to help the situation
for the needy at least for the youths for pursue of education.
The North East has a population of more than 40 million with an estimated
about 10 million households. According to one estimate, about 75% of the
households (or about 30 million people) in the North East do not have
electricity. Apparently, the rural North East is yet mostly untouched by GOI’s
ambitious Rajib Gandhi Rural Electrification Plan. FASS has neither the
resources nor it is its aim to provide rural electrification in the North East
India.
FASS has so far received sponsorships for about 100 Solar Reading Lamps for
distribution in various parts of the North East. We are planning to launch the
project by organizing a kick off meeting in Jorhat where we will distribute
Solar Reading Lamps (Vidyadeep) to the first 25 deserving students of rural
area in the Jorhat-Sibsagar district. FASS members in Jorhat have already
selected the 25 deserving students from high school and colleges who are
meritorious and are in real need of help. (See list below). The Deputy
Commissioner of Jorhat, Mr R. C. Jain has kindly agreed to attend the meeting
as the Chief Guest to encourage the students as well as to promote the project.
There will be also the students, teachers and the parents from each school in
the meeting where each of these students will be awarded a free Solar Reading
Lamp (Vidyadeep) along with a Certificate from FASS.
The FASS program is made possible with kind sponsorships of many global NR-NEI
members as well as through active collaboration and support of local community
members living in North East India in helping in selecting the deserving
students and distributing the lamps. At present, we have received requests for
Solar Reading Lamps from Manipur, Nagaland and Meghalaya besides various other
parts of Assam. We are making plans to distribute in these areas soon.
If you live outside of North East India and want to sponsor Solar Reading Lamps
in your home village/town through our low cost affordable plan, you may kindly
contact us for details. All Solar Reading Lamps distributed bear labels of
"With Compliments from" in the name of the Sponsor. If you sponsor ten or more
Solar Reading Lamps, you may also select the deserving students and the area
for distribution on your own.
If you live in anywhere in North East India and want to participate in the FASS
project for distribution of Solar Reading Lamps and want to help by selecting
deserving students in your own area, you may write to us asking for details.
At this time FASS is also looking for corporate or governmental sponsorships
for this program to help the needy students in North East India.
For sponsorship details and for additional clarification, please write to

Best wishes to all and looking for every body's help and cooperation in making
the project "Let There Be Light for Education in Assam and Seven Sisters' (সাত
ভ্নী অসমত শিক্ষাৰ পোহৰ হওক) a success for a brighter future of North East India.
