Maligaon, March 04: The Northeast Frontier Railway has achieved a significant milestone by upgrading the Senior Institute at Maligaon into a modern facility with world-class amenities for the benefit of railway employees and their families.
The renovated and reconstructed institute has been named as “Kanaklata Bhawan” in memory of Kanaklata Barua, the youngest freedom fighter of Assam who made the supreme sacrifice during India’s struggle for independence. The state-of-the-art facilities will enable railway staff to celebrate various social gatherings and cultural functions in a dignified and well-equipped environment.
Apart from this, a community hall within the campus has also been renovated and dedicated in the name of Bishnu Prasad Rabha, a legendary cultural figure of Assam whose immense contributions to art, music and social reform continue to inspire generations. The community hall will facilitate social ceremonies, cultural programmes and other community activities, offering a dedicated venue for railway employees and their families.
In addition, a children’s play area has been developed inside the Bhawan campus named as “Nahor Udyan” to provide a safe and vibrant recreational space for children. This initiative reflects the Railway’s holistic approach towards employee welfare by ensuring that family members also benefit from improved infrastructure and community facilities.
