In Loving Memory of Late Dandeswar Dutta
Late Dandeswar Dutta, father of Pohar Dutta and the only son of Late Kumud Ch Dutta of Golaghat, was a man of rare versatility and excellence. From an early age, he displayed remarkable academic brilliance, especially in Mathematics and English, alongside an extraordinary talent for sports.
A distinguished table tennis player of the state Assam and an engineering college champion, he was among the pioneers who laid the foundation for the growth and development of table tennis in Golaghat. His dedication, discipline, and commitment to the sport helped strengthen the region’s sporting culture and inspired many young athletes to pursue excellence.
He lived a life driven by values, learning, and love for sport — a legacy that continues to inspire generations.
Forever remembered. Forever respected. 🙏🏓🎾
