From a single scrap from Bhaskar Jyoti Saikia vowing saving some pocketmoney for the downtrodden on 1st March 2008 in a social Networking community website Orkut till today, this organization have been progressing on three things --- the zeal of the young generation, the calming and resourceful influence of experienced professionals and the over bearing emotion of doing something for their motherland, Assam. Here’s the story of how it all began:

Our inception and how Proyaash was born

On 1st march 2008, Bhaskar Jyoti Saikia gave a scrap in social Networking community website Orkut,

"Asom... amar matribhumi" buli kolei nohobo...let's take some action 4 the kind of our "matribhumi...ami orkutot jimanei tetu fali siyoru asomor ketiau unnati nohoi...asomor homosya hodai homosya yei hoi thakibo...moi ata kotha bhabisu...kiyo ami ai comm tur ata fund nukhulu??.. ai comm tur 8000+ member ase... xokoluye ai fund tut contribute korile bohu toka gut khabo....ami ai toka bohu bhal kamot khotabo parim..barikha ahi ase....asomot barikha manei bolia baan...ami flood victim hokolok tu relief dibo parim....an bhal kamotu ai toka use korar thol ase..”

The initial response to this was “It is Infeasible.”

Slowly as days passed one by one, Assamese students, teachers and professionals working all around the world saw a challenge in this initiative and started sharing their views. Assamese Doctors, engineers, software professionals, project managers, MBA’s, IIT Students, Teachers, Media Professionals came together with their views to sort out the probable course of action through online conferences and as a result of various such discussions and brainstorming , “Proyaash” was formed.

The name “Proyaash” was chosen for the organization as it means “an initiative” to help the people of Assam to improve their socio economic condition as well as to present Assam in a better way in global scenario.

The call for Proyaash:

চিৰ চেনেহী মোৰ ভাষা জননী…….অসম
অসমৰ নাম উল্লেখ কৰিলেই
ভাঁহি আহে এখন মন পৰশা ছবি
হৃদয়ৰ ভাষা থকা ছবি
ভোকৰ ভাতৰ মিঠা থকা ছবি
যান্ত্রিকতাৰ য’ত নাম গোন্ধ নাই
কোনো জাত পাতৰ য’ত কথা নাই
খেতিয়কৰ নাঙলৰ ছবি
বনুৱাৰ ঘামৰ টোপাল থকা ছবি
ক’ত বিচাৰি পাম শাৰী শাৰী
পকা ধানৰ মাজেদি ভাঁহি অহা
দাৱনীৰ মুখৰ ভোগালী হাঁহিটো
নিয়ৰ সনা দুবৰি গৰকা ৰাতিপূৱা
ধূপ- ধূণাৰ আমোলমোলৰ মাজত
ভাঁহি অহা দবা-শংখৰ হৰষধবনীৰ গধূলী
শদিয়াৰ পৰা ধুবুৰী লৈ্কে
বৈ গৈছে মোৰ মৰমৰ লুইত
অসমীয়া ডেকা-গাভৰুৰ বাবে
লুইত যেন যৌৱনৰ অফুৰন্ত উৎস
লুইতৰ উত্তাল- উন্মাদ গতি দেখি
শিহঁৰি উঠে দেহ মন
আমাক যেন লুইতে দিছে
আকাংশিত সপোন দিঠক কৰিবলৈ সেই প্রেৰণা

অসমৰ পৰা আতৰি থাকি
আমি পাহৰিব নালাগে
আমাৰ ঐতিহ্যমণ্ডিত কলা-সংস্কৃতি
পাহৰিব নালাগে
আমাৰ মানুহখিনিৰ চকুপানীবোৰ
কোনে মূল্য দিব সেই দুখৰ দিনটো
মুখত লাগি থকা আপোনভোলা হাঁহিটো

এই ক্ষেত্রত আমাৰ এটা সৰু প্রচেষটা
অসমৰ উন্নতিৰ হকে
অসমীয়া সমাজখনৰ বাবে ।

PROYAASH !!!!
