About Trust
The Bhabendra Nath Saikia Children Welfare Trust was established by Dr. Bhabnedra Nath Saikia in 2001 as a not for profit charitable trust with a mission to work with underprivileged children by creating for them an environment that will foster academic and intellectual development and empower them to rise, to accomplish, to succeed.
The Magor Education Trust instituted a literary award in 1990 called “The Assam Valley Literary Award” which contain a cash amount of rupees one lakh, a citation & a plaque. Dr. Bhabendra Nath Saikia was the first recipient of this award. On receiving the award in a public function held on April 9, 1991, Dr. Saikia declared that he would utilize the prize money in establishing a Trust for the welfare of the children. Accordingly, he kept the prize money as a fixed deposit. A busy work schedule and health issues kept Dr. Saikia’s plan on hold for nearly a decade. The scheme was finalized in the year 2000 and the Dr. Bhabendra Nath Saikia Children Welfare Trust was officially set up on February 12, 2001.
