Retired non-teaching college employee and donor.
“We regard Biman Basu not merely as a party leader but as a guardian of our family. There are only two of us. Biman-da suggested that we build a larger family by connecting with more people through public service. His words touched us deeply. After giving the matter considerable thought, we decided to donate our house.”
