Our president Dr. Karuna Kar Behera passed away

Dr. Karuna Kar Behera, aged about 90 years, passed away in Bhubaneswar, at around 3 ‘o’ clock in the morning of 25 July 2009- today. For last few months he was indisposed and frequently being admitted to hospitals for treatment.

He has been serving as the president of ‘DNHS OSA’- D.N.High School Old Students’ Association since its inception/ registration in 1982. Since 2004 Dr. Behera was seriously trying to hand over this responsibility to some younger members yet owing to lack of interest among the younger members and fervent requests from other members he was forced to continue at the helms of affairs.

He wished to see the successful conduct of the platinum jubilee celebrations and towards this end dragged himself to several preparatory meetings despite his severe illness. His punctuality was legendary and in his demise the ‘DNHS OSA’ has lost one of its main stay and it would be almost impossible to replace him.

Sri. Sandeep Behera- the secretary of the Platinum jubilee organizing committee- is grief stricken and is making arrangements to place the mortal remains of Dr. Behera in the D.N.High School premises for a few minutes, so as to facilitate the old students and citizens of Kendujhar to pay their last respect to this outstanding son of the soil. He is sad that Dr. Behera’s last wishes – a reinvigorated D. N. High School and successful conduct of the platinum jubilee celebrations -could not be fulfilled during his life time.

Please pass this message to the alumni of D. N. High School and all others who love Kendujhar.
