Guwahati: The “Governor Assam Vishwakarma Samman” was presented to six differently-abled people of the state in recognition of their outstanding contributions in various fields on the occasion of Viswakarma Jayanti on Wednesday.

He extended birthday wishes to the Prime Minister and said society should focus on the abilities of differently-abled individuals rather than their limitations.

The award was presented to six Divyangjans for their outstanding courage, innovation, and dedication in their respective fields.

Hailing the awardees as the “true Vishwakarmas of society”, the governor said their lives embody resilience, creativity, and service to the community.

Maulik Rabha from Goalpara, a visually impaired teacher, was honoured in the field of art and culture for his role in preserving Assamese musical traditions through his music school.

In the category of literature and education, Nibedita Ghosh from Karbi Anglong, who is 100% visually impaired, was recognised for her work as an inspiring educator and motivational speaker.

Dharani Kalita from Bajali was honoured in the field of science, engineering, medicine and environment for his innovative work in converting manual tricycles into electric ones, benefiting many differently-abled individuals.

Rakesh Banik from Nagaon received the award in the category of social work and public affairs for his efforts, including a 2500-kilometre journey to raise awareness and support for Assam’s flood victims.

Abhishek Gogoi from Kamrup Metro was recognised in the field of sports for his achievements as a para-athlete, including medals at the Special Olympics and national-level competitions.

In the category of trade, industry and commerce, Akoni Baruah from Jorhat was awarded for his entrepreneurship in traditional handicrafts, which has also generated employment for local youth.

The governor also highlighted the Assam government’s initiatives, such as the ‘Deendayal Disabled Rehabilitation scheme’, which provides financial support, skill development, and rehabilitation for differently-abled citizens.
