It gives me immense pleasure to learn that Chitta Gyani Charitable Trust is

holding its Silver Jubilee Free Health Camp on 13.12.2015 at Jamut, Gudvela, district

Bolangir. Man is a social animal. Needless therefore to say that he can neither disown

his responsibility towards the society nor be oblivious of working in his own way for

uplifting the standard of the people having a sub-humane existence. If this realization

dawns upon the majority, the society at large, will behold a remarkable and

revolutionary change in its complexion and character. I am indeed happy that CGCT

is consciously and tirelessly working in this direction under the able leadership of

my son Dr. Datteswar Hota who envisioned and empowered the functioning of the

trust since its inception to this date. I would have certainly loved to be a part of this

humdinger physically but for my senile indisposition. However I am sanguine that

this mega event will be a run-away success.

I sincerely wish CGCT team will steadfastly work in creating more milestones

in their sojourn until the baton is transferred to safe hands.

May God Bless us all !!!

(Chittaranjan Hota)

Advisor’s Desk...

I am extremely delighted to be informed that CGCT is embarking upon the gargantuan task of holding

its 25th (Silver Jubilee) Free Health Camp at Jamut, Gudvela of Bolangir District on 13.12.2015. “Service to

Man Kind is Service to God”. While the famous lines of Mahatma Gandhi is perpetually true, how ever the

relevance of the same is all the more important in contemporary society. Apathy towards the suffering

of the poor and protracted indifference has its own implications. Very often this forms the very genesis

of various agitations against the establishment. In view of this lurking danger, the responsibility of both

government and non-governmental organizations has increased substantially. It is therefore satisfying that

CGCT is making significant contribution in rendering service to the poor and ailing populace.

Health camps by voluntary organizations are conducted in regular frequency but what make CGCT

camps unique is its professional approach and the dynamic leadership of Dr. D. Hota. Being a perspicacious

observer of the proceedings since a decade, I can say without any bias that Dr. Hota is a breed apart and

through his unbridled enthusiasm and unassailable work ethics has been greatly successful in utilizing his

men and materials successfully to carry on his childhood passion into a sustained mission.

I take this opportune movement to complement the entire CGCT team for their whole hearted

participation in making the decade long journey a momentous overdrive. I am optimistic that CGCT will

further invigorate their feet in their chosen field of extending service to the suffering humanity without

resting on past Laurels.

Best of luck

Sincerely yours

INTRODUCTION :

Health hazard continues to haunt people at

large. While urban population have some access to

expert medical advice and modern treatment

facilities, the poor and the downtrodden residing in

K.B.K. districts and micro interiors suffer due to want

of medical infrastructure and lack of awareness and

many die due to inadequate medical assistance.

Despite multiple endeavors’ by the Government to

improve such conditions, the situation remains far

from satisfactory. The call of circumstances, therefore

is precise and prompt initiatives by non-government

social organizations supplementing the government

efforts.

Moved by the plight and heartrending

predicament of the rural poor, a few forbearing souls

closed ranks in the active initiative of Dr. Datteswar

Hota and Chitta Gyani Charitable Trust saw the light

of the day on 25.11.2004.

The vanguard of this venture is none other

than Dr. Datteswar Hota, who is currently working as

Professor and HOD, Department of Urology, SCB

Medical College, Cuttack and is pioneer of Kidney

Transplant Surgery in the state. A personality with

vision and dedication Dr. Hota is committed to serve

the poor, downtrodden and save them from the

severe health hazard, which they face. He inspire

the founding members to constitute the trust not

only to combat the ailments suffered by the rural

poor but to create health and hygiene awareness

and the trust is doing a commendable work. As an

ambassador of Chitta Gyani Charitable Trust he

moves to tribal areas to locate the health problems

faced by the poor tribal, and then persuade his

fellow Collegues to join the health camp organized

by the Chitta Gyani Charitable Trust, examine and

treat the patients in their inaccessible villages. On

the request of the Chitta Gyani Charitable Trust Dr.

Hota and his associates treats the poor and old

helpless patients free of cost. No doubt the trust

organizes health camps but Dr. Hota is invariably the

Pirot in all the programmes of the trust.

On 26th February 2005 in its first endeavours

CGCT organised a free health camp at Samanta Sahi,

Canal Road, Cuttack Trust Office wherein 60 patients

above the age group of 50 years having various

urological disorders were treated successfully by

eminent urosurgeons namely – Dr. D. Hota, Dr. B.N.

Rath, Dr. B.N. Das and Dr. Prakash Samal. Starting

this day CGCT trust meetings are held every year on

26th January, 1st April and 15th August, where in

contours are drawn for various future and

forthcoming events. Retired Justice Arun Parichha

of the Hon’ble High Court has consented to function

as the principal advisor of the trust. In continuation

of the humble efforts, CGCT started a urological

centre in a rented house at Samanta Sahi, Canal

Road, Cuttack and is engaged in offering advance

treatment facilities at an affordable price. The trust

not only caters food to the inmates of this hospital

freely but also provides free treatment to the

underprivileged. In its periodical meetings the trust

has decided to support meritorious students

financially who become unable to afford the

increasing educational expenditure.

Minister, Govt. of Odisha. Sukinda Block Chairman

Smt. Bhagabati Mohanty and B.D.O. Sri Sambit Kumar

Time moves at a breakneck speed. The small

step undertaken in 2005 took the shape of a decade

long obsession and marched in quick steps till 2015

with the experience of successfully conducting 24

health camps across the state. The time has arrived

to organize the Silver Jubilee camp (No. 25). The

taskforce at CGCT are properly geared-up and leaving

no stones unturned to ensure that the gap between

its own experience and the vision is adequately

bridged. The date and venue of this much awaited

camp are 13.12.2015 at Govt. High School, Jamut,

Gudvela block of Bolangir district respectively.

Dear readers, Silver Jubilee camp may have

emerged as an instant priority for CGCT but the vision

is ever expanding and the efforts to pursue are ever

augmenting. CGCT has a dream to reach-out to the

underprivileged and needy throughout the length

and breadth of Odisha in the forseeable future. The

adage which has gained currency that ‘Even eagles

also need a push’ is indeed sanguine. While CGCT

draws considerable inspiration from this, the famous

lines of Robert Frost are always reverberating in the

minds and hearts of CGCT taskforce.

“The woods are lovely, dark and deep,

But we have promises to keep,

And miles to go before we sleep”.

CONCLUSION :

Philanthropy is easily pronounced a term than

practiced. While we at the trust do not believe in

hyperbolic assertions, we intend to inform the

readers with profound humility that organizing

health camps in remote places, co-ordinating with

doctors, involving administration, ensuring supply

of medicines, employing trained personnel,

transporting various test conducting instruments

remains always a challenging task. CGCT proudly

claims to have developed a professional task force

under the captaincy of Dr. Datteswar Hota who work

with untiring zeal and unwavering focus to ensure

that the thoughts are translated into successful

action. It gives immense pleasure to inform that the

finance required to meet the mounting expenses

are generated independently without a speck of

external dependence. The steady and sustained

efforts put in place to ensure a smile on the face of

the sick and suffering population provides immense

satisfaction to carry on the crusade. In the final hours

of life when one introspects, at least a sense of

contentment would crop up that the precious

opportunity provided by life has not been frittered

away by wishy-washy dealings and mammon

worship.

THAT IS THE ULTIMATE SATISFACTION A HUMAN

BEING EXPECTS IN LIFE.

Thanks.

A leading philanthropic organization in the state ofOdisha, the Chitta Gyani Charitable Trust has been aroundthe arena since the winter of 2004 with loads of humanvision to mitigate miseries of all ilk by the panacea ofcare, kindness, service and love. This narration is not todisplay our vainglory in front of all of you nor do we askfor any one’s appreciation. What glory ; what grandeur; what sweetness ; what lustre ; what utility, in every inchof God’s creation. The most beautiful amongst Hiscreatures, the most useful amongst them, do their dutyand they praise the Lord by their deeds : such as thematchless brilliance of the sun and the life giving rays hesheds on all of us ; the enchanting beams of cool joy sendsforth by the moon in the service of God, the lovely bird’schirping in dense forest and the cloud’s richest treasureof purest water, amidst peels of its laughter, thunder andwithout waiting for our admiration disappears.

This piece of writing is rather a most comprehensiveenunciation of the centrality of the conception of thistrust. The CGCT in the first half decade (in its infancy)careened and floundered yet braved along the course tonewer challenges and learnt to overcome hurdles as aseasoned warrior until it settled down to combatscourges, ailments, diseases and discomforts of mind andbody and to the healing of wounds. Couple of years gone,the trust found out it’s course, real and proper, has neverlooked back thence. Headquartered at Cuttack, the CGCTruns it’s flagship project the Susruta Hospital a one stopsolution to myriad ailments, under the tender care of aworkaholic super specialist medico and social activists.

Providing healthcare at the doorsteps of thedrastically deprived, the indigent, those walking the earthin far-off places (the remote areas of our state) whereeven angels fear to tread, has been CGCT’s forte allthrough. It has been organizing Mega health camps withprovisions for, Pathology, eye testing, ultrasonographystudy and endoscopy etc. besides expert diagnosis anddistribution of medicines free for all worth over RupeesSeven lac Rs. 7,00,000/- per camp; twice every yearwhich has been routine exercise of the trust. So far wehave already organized 24 nos. of such camps in differentdistricts of our state. The Susruta Hospital at Cuttackequipped with state of the art technology to carter to theneeds of the critically ill in the state and outside has provento be a disguised boon to the hapless patients thus far ;this is because the trust also provides surgical facility to

IN THE CHRONICLE OF PHILANTHROPY

Sri Sarat Samal

the under privileged free of charge. That apart, the surplusmoney we generate through this hospital is being spentfor our health camps in the remotest part of our state.

All said and done, every good deed has a fountforce, a guiding spirit, a propelling agent that makestranslating dreams to reality. If to give glory to the goodis not to be shunned, then Dr. Datteswar Hota’s personwould flash across our minds as the ministering spirit ofthe CGCT. This work addict medico has remained theguardian angel of the trust all through the decade sinceits inception. His being in a top-notch position in thestate’s ace medical set-up as well as in the medicalscenario in the country, he has given undeterred supportand stewardship to this nascent organization.

There are many other profession that offer moremoney, power and glamour, but none commands therespect, dignity and love of a doctor. And we as acharitable organization bow our head before this arrayof selfless medicos whose indefatigueable service andcare at the time of need has made us able to provide thishealth care facility at the doorsteps of the underpriviledged of our state. In the words of RabindranathTagore, “God is there where the tiller is tilling the hardsoil and the pathmaker is breaking the stones”. As we allknow these are the stuff stay back in the remote areaswhere we hardly find time to go and share with them.Our elderly chairman, the very embodiment of humility,piety, virtue and devotion says, “all work is divine and wemust work hard to enjoy the fruits of our labour thatindeed taste sweet ; ‘Manava Seva is Madhab Seva’, ‘LokSeva is Lokesa Seva’, Jana Seva is Janardan Seva’ and ‘JivaSeva is Deva Seva,, each one highlighting the idea thatservice to mankind is worship offered to God’.

We have come this far, trying to match his strideunder the shadow of the moving angel, the lovely birdamongst us, Smt. Gyani Hota whose tireless and undilutedlove keep us energized.

Days are drawing to a close, shadows grow longbefore they mingle into the night. Lots of work are done,and a lot more are still to be done. Before the bodiesperish, Let us not stop singing the ballads of philanthropyin tune of Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and Mark Jukerbergwho say, “the only way that we reach our full humanpotential is if we are able to unlock the gifts of everyperson around the world”.
