Dr. Arunjyoti Hazarika

Such is the case of Nabajyoti Hazarika, who was turned into a live man with a dead body without the fault of his own. Nabajyoti Hazarika,(41)completed his B.Sc. (Agri) (batch1999)and M.Sc. (Agri)(batch 2001 ) from Assam Agricultural University (AAU), Jorhat. He was a multi talented individual who excelled in both academics and cultural field, prior to the injury caused in a bomb blast on 24 June 2004 in Mathurapur TE, Sonari, Sivasagar, Assam. Nabajyoti was travelling by a bus to attend a job interview and unfortunately a bomb exploded just above his bus seat. As a result, Nabajyoti received serious head injuries. He was taken to a hospital in Dibrugarh, Assam.There started his actual battle as he was in coma for thirty two days. He has partially recovered, but lost his memory, voice, left eye sight and paralysis of the right side of the body.

All we need in our lives is proper training. Training to shapes our incompleteness, If we direct our mind to focus on achieving something, "I will" it will lead to "I can". Nabajyoti's accident left a tragic impact on his family. The disability of their elder son turned the entire family into emotionally crippled. The doctor's declared only physiotherapy and speech therapy could bring movement in his paralyzed body. It was then, Nabajyoti's younger brother Arunjyoti, decided to pursue physiotherapy in order to cure the entire family's paralyzed soul. During those days, there were no any advanced facilities of physiotherapy in Assam. Mr. Indreswar Boruah, of Assam Medical College, Dibrugarh, asked Arunjyoti to study the graduation course of Physiotherapy i.e., BPT (Bachelor of Physiotherapy) so that he can help in his brother’s recovery and treatment as well as to the other peoples also. Arunjyoti completed the course with outmost stubbornness. Out of somewhere, a thought came into his mind; why not establish a centre to erase the static state of other patients too. His thought led to the establishment of the NGO NABAJYOTI PHYSIOTHERPY RESEARCH CENTER”.

It is definitely not an easy task for Arunjyoti and his family to view a disabled person right in front of their eyes. Yet the agony is worthless, compared to the satisfaction obtained by bringing motion to life to all the static persons of the society.

Perhaps, none can cure the hidden pain of the Nabajyoti’s family. They have accepted their fate with outmost optimism. But fate itself has provided them an opportunity to view the physical as well as mental agony of patients.

At present, Nabajyoti is capable of solving his own needs. He can walk properly and paints with the help of his left hand.
