LEADERSHIP
Sanjoy Ghosh
Founder Urmul Setu Sansthan
Late Indian Rural Development Activist, Sanjoy Ghosh founded URMUL Rural Health and Development Trust in 1986. After his pioneering work in the healthcare services in the region, Sanjoy Ghosh went to address the developmental work in North East India. His initiative of protecting land erosion on the banks of river Brahmaputra, with the people’s participation was revolutionary. Displeasing ULFA, an armed militant organization in Northeast Indian states, Sanjoy Ghosh was abducted by ULFA on 4th July 1997 and was killed the next day. Sanjoy’s life showed people the way away from violence to a constructive social action.
