1 International Association for Human Values Fostering Human Values through Service to Humanity Assam Relief Updated Report In July 2012 Assam saw outbreaks of riots between different ethnicities that displaced over 400,000 lives. Men, women and children have been killed; schools and houses have been burnt. Kokrajhar, Chirang and Dhubri districts of northeast are the worst hit among five affected districts, the two others being Bongaigaon and Baksa. The resentment had ripple effects across the state and India, leaving an urgent need for intervention. IAHV Intervention IAHV volunteers are continuing to work towards restoring lives of the victims in the affected areas. Our response involves providing: Immediate material aid at our relief camps, food, water, clothing & shelter homes. Trauma Relief workshops releasing trauma and restoring hope. As a short term rehabilitation plan, we aim at fostering personal responsibility of individuals through service and mentorship programs conducted by community volunteers that empower self-reliance. IAHV is committed to rebuilding lives of the riot victims in Assam. His Holiness Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, the founder of IAHV, visited the affected areas in Assam brought the victims much needed solace. He told them to face the tragedy with courage and to prepare themselves to reclaim their life. He urged them to work for a harmonious and a peaceful coexistence with the communities in the Bodo-land. In addition to immediate relief there have been several reputed Ayurvedic doctors who have been brought to provide holistic health care. So far 18 medical camps have been organized, lakhs of rupees have been spent on medicines benefitting over thousands of people. Volunteers are distributing immediate relief & medicines.

2 Trauma relief workshops are being conducted to help victims combat their grievances as part of their short term rehabilitation. Over 100,000 Bodos and Muslims have benefitted from our trauma relief workshops in over 3 districts. Trauma Relief Workshops being conducted for Bodos & Muslims. Sri Sri visited the relief camp at Kajalgaon Higher Secondary School in Chirang District. Addressing a large gathering of Bodo inmates, he advised them to face the tragedy with courage and prepare to reclaim their life. He urged them to go back to the villages with the feeling of belongingness. It s really painful that such a tragedy has happened in our country, he said adding the Art of Living is there with them. At the Basugoan camp of Muslim inmates, he enquired about their safety and comfort. Sri Sri expressed his concern over the conditions of many elderly inmates and spoke to them personally. He told the inmates who have gathered to receive him that with God s grace, things would come back to normal soon. In Kokrajhar, he visited Vidyapeeth High School camp and interacted with the inmates, listening to their woes, and consoled them to face the tragedy with courage. In his bid to help the inmates overcome the lingering trauma, he advised them to see whatever has happened as a bad dream and pray for a better tomorrow. Many inmates shared their helplessness with tears in the eyes. Many regretted how long-standing harmony among different communities has been destroyed by the current riot. He reassured them that the Art of Living will work for rebuilding the trust.in all the relief camps, Sri Sri himself distributed relief materials such as clothes, babyfood, toiletries, etc to the inmates. He said the Art of Living has brought reputed Ayurvedic doctors to provide holistic health care to the inmates. In the coming days, check-up camps will be set up in almost all relief camps. In Kokrajhar, Sri Sri held a series of meeting with the representatives of various organisation including All Bodo Student Union (ABSU), Bodo People s Front (BPF), BPPF and academicians from Kokrajhar University and discussed ways and means to end the conflict and find long-term solution to the problems of Bodoland.
