WB Guv To All Varsities: Observe Partition Horrors Remembrance Day On Aug 14

Kolkata: West Bengal Governor R. N. Ravi has called upon all the public and private universities, along with their affiliated colleges and institutions, to observe August 14 as Partition Horrors Remembrance Day, bringing students, faculty members and parents together to remember the horrors of partition and its profound impact on the state.

On Sunday, Lok Bhavan said in a statement, “Bengal bore the worst horrors of Partition, with millions facing displacement, loss of precious lives and livelihoods, and profound social, cultural and economic disruption. The observance will help our younger generation understand one of the darkest chapters of our national history—the horrors of Partition, the immense suffering of those who lived through it, and the forces that led to it—and remain vigilant against forces that seek to divide us.”
