    Lokabandhu means friend of people.
    Dr.Bhubaneswar Baruah was a true genuine helpful friend in his time.
    When he was a sub-inspector in education department,he really inspected schools hitherto not done by anyone and that too where roads and facilities were scarce.
    He was fully committed to welfare of the patients;so,people called him Sankardev,a saint of the people of Assam
    After operation on patients he used to stay with the patients that instilled confidence in patients
    He could not get time for himself while seeing the patients even on his wedding day.He went to the bride’s home with the old unimpressive shirt he had earlier worn when he was with patients.His wedding companion Mr.Amiyo Kumar Das gave him Das’clean shirt for the wedding.After the wedding he received message that patients were contracting cholera; he immediately left to render treatment to these patients leaving his newly-wed wife at home.
    Apart from being a freedom fighter,he contributed for establishing Gauhati University,Assam Medical College,Ayurvedic College.Deaf and dumb institution,Assam branch of IMA.Thus a religiously committed and honest person with pleasing personality was endeared by people of all walks of life.
