Mrs. Jhumur Dey (JGEC 1996 Civil)

Late Prabhakar De was born in a farmers’ family, studied in Kuchiakol Radhaballav Institution (the second oldest school of Bankura district) and was the first matriculate from his village Chhatra-ara in the year 1933. Without any means for further study, he chose the profession of a Primary School Teacher with a salary of Rs. 5/- per month and eventually became head teacher of the school. Lovingly called Yadav Master in his area, he was an idealistic and passionate teacher. To help the poor and the illiterate, he single handedly started an adult literacy centre in his school premises in evening. For his sincerity and popularity, he was selected as Secretary of the local food board committee during the great Bengal famine in 1943. His credibility and trustworthiness was highly praised in the adjoining thanas and Bishnupur subdivision for his regular visits to all the villages and his efficient and impartial distribution of food grains to the poor people. Once he was elected in gram panchayat election. He tried to help everyone whoever approached him, irrespective of caste or religion.
In his family life, he was progressive and tried to impart best possible education to his children within his financial ability. He had two granddaughters and his filial love was unbound. He never expressed the desire of a grandson when the social milieu was just the opposite. His love touches our heart even now whenever we remember him. His active and noble life came to an end in 1991.
