About Our Founder

Ramesh Chandra Saharia, born on December 1, 1930, into a family of high tradition, received blessings from Mahatma Gandhi as a baby in Tangla, Assam. Raised by his father, Shri Lambodar Saharia, as an extremely polite and respectful boy, Saharia excelled academically, obtaining degrees from Cotton College, Guwahati, and Banaras Hindu University. Despite his high qualifications, he chose to become a teacher at Tangla Aided Government High School, serving as its Headmaster for fourteen years before entering the State Legislative Assembly as an MLA in 1972.
