"FAITH & EDUCATION"
The topic is about Shri Shri Guadhora Satra Dham of Balijan, Gohpur, District-Biswanath, Assam (India). The said Satra got established in the 13th century. Further, the Gurujona, Mohapurukha, Shri Shrimanta Sankardev had written the Chapter of Haromohan of Kritan by staying several years together therein. Our most beloved predecessor/ancestor Basu Dev was the last Satradhikar of the said Satra. In the primitive age, the Satra is a place for imparting education to the devotees. The main objective of the Satra is to monitor mainly coordination, cooperation, protection, justification, promotion, and regulation among the inhabitant villagers with cultural activities. It also gives a lesson to be faithful to one and to be believable to all.
Due to a change of circumstances and the introduction of a schooling system for education, it was deeply thought by the beloved grandfather Betharam Kath Hazarika to establish an educational institution nearby the said Satra for improving adequate knowledge in different subjects. But, during his lifetime, such a beautiful dream could not come true though he was a pioneer educationist. Ultimately, in the sixties, such a beautiful dream of the ancestor came into reality. As a plot of land, measuring more than 5 (Five) Bighas of the ancestors were donated by Lalit Chandra Kath Hazarika & Nabin Chandra Kath Hazarika for the establishment of educational institution, accordingly, since then, one High School has been functioning in the name of Rupkowar Jyoti Prasad Agarwala with brilliant academic results.
