“Activist Dr Dibyajyoti Saikia” The Real Hero of Northeast India

National level Human Rights and Social Activist Dr Dibyajyoti Saikia hails from Assam. He aims to establish peace and humanity and eliminate social evils through quality and knowledge-based life-oriented education. In his 42 years of life, having extensive experience of 22 years working on prominent to ground zero level social work and awareness drives and sensitization programmes across the country over a range of issues, he mainly work in the field of anti-superstition, anti-terrorism, anti-drugs to re-establish peace and communal harmony through the Society.

 

He promote knowledge-based education by which one can establish himself financially or socially. For the financially backward people, poor farmers, and people who became a victim of witch-hunting, he used to support their talented children in terms of financial, education, college level or even university levels, and I am proud that many of them are now established their lives.
