The Purnujjal Papiya Ghosh Memorial Trust draws inspiration from the exemplary
and truly remarkable lives of Ujjal Kumar Ghosh, an upright, honest and outstanding
IAS Officer of the Bihar Cadre who was murdered in a Government Hospital, by poisoning,
on 3 December 1957, Purnima Ghosh, who valiantly picked up the shreds of a shattered
life and devotedly crafted the future of four young daughters, Col. Arun Kumar Ghosh,
her brother-in-law, who chose to be by her side at the hour of crisis and Papiya,
the third of the four daughters, who was an eminent Scholar and a most caring and
compassionate person, and who was tragically murdered, like her father on the same
day, 49 years later.

The reasons for the murders and suffering
inflicted on the Ghosh Family are not known and perhaps will never be known. But
there will be no let up in the quest for justice. Lives as valuable as these cannot
be allowed to have been lost in vain. They represent the unmatched courage, deep
resilience, commendable fortitude and strong determination to make sterling contributions
and leave their distinctive imprint on destinies, in the midst of conditions that
are not congenial or supportive. We must celebrate such lives and let their achievements
be known to those who may be in similar circumstances and fighting seemingly hopeless
battles.

The legacy of the Ghosh Family will be carried forward and we are determined not
to be beaten down by the forces ranged against the best, brightest and most promising.
To achieve the overarching goals of justice and excellence, we will enable and facilitate
those less advantaged and less privileged to realize their full potential and contribute
to the development of our society and country. We are convinced we will make a difference
that will have many far reaching consequences.
