Nayan Kumar (born January 1, 1979) and
Jitu Moni Sharma (born March 8, 1973) established the NGO, The
Assimilation Group of Assam at Hajo in 1997. The NGO works against
terrorism, corruption, anti-social activities and more. On October 13,
2010, the organization made the largest brass lamp measuring 1.25 m dia
and 31.7 cm deep and with a capacity to contain 340 litre oil. Calling it
a ‘Lamp of Peace’ it was lit continuously from October 17, 2010 at
Palasbari Durga Puja. On the eve of Dussehra, taking the flame from this
lamp, the idol of Ravana was burnt amid celebrations. The 25.525 kg lamp
took 22 days to make.
