Assam Diploma Engineers’ Association Donates Rs 2 Lakh, Plans Aid for Flood-Hit Students
The Assam Diploma Engineers’ Service Association (ADESA) extended support to flood-affected communities by contributing Rs 2 lakh to the Chief Minister’s Relief Fund and announcing the distribution of educational materials to students in affected areas. A delegation of ADESA met Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma at Lok Sewa Bhawan and handed over a cheque of Rs 2 lakh as part of relief efforts. The delegation included president Nayan Kumar Dutta, general secretary Sanjeev Kumar Deka, treasurer Khanindra Malakar, and publicity secretary Trinayan Handique. In addition to the financial assistance, the association has undertaken an initiative to support students impacted by the floods in Sivasagar district, particularly in Nazira and Sonari. As part of this effort, ADESA will distribute educational kits to around 1,100 students across 27 schools in the affected regions. Each student will receive a set of essential study materials, including six notebooks, a hardboard, pens, pencils, a scale, an eraser, a sharpener, and a packet of colour pencils. The initiative aims to help students resume their studies with minimal disruption following the disaster. An ADESA team is scheduled to leave on August 12 for Sivasagar, Charaideo, and Nazira to carry out the distribution programme. The Chief Minister appreciated the association’s efforts and lauded its members for contributing towards relief and rehabilitation measures in flood-hit areas. The initiative comes at a time when several districts in Upper Assam continue to recover from recent floods that have affected thousands of families and disrupted normal life.
