An Appeal to help Late Souvik Ghosh (99CE) Surviving Family
Initiated on January 3, 2015
This New Year is NOT going to be the same again for the Ghosh family and many of their extended BEC
family. Souvik Ghosh (99-CE) aka ‘Boudi’, is no more with us. He was fighting with Cancer since 2009
and literally refused to bow down for 5 long years to this dreaded disease. Souvik lost his battle on 18-
Dec-2014 and we lost one colorful page from our B. E. College chapter of life. He would not join us any
get-togethers or, reunions. Life would move on, but our cherished memories with ‘boudi’ at Bending
Moment, Oval or REBECA would remain forever with us. He is survived by his unfortunate 10 year old
son, wife (homemaker) and aged parents (Souvik being the only child of his parents).
Friends of late Souvik decided to raise fund with the consent of his family (father: Gautam Ghosh), and
GAABESU has agreed to provide the logistics to raise a fund for building a corpus amount which will
support the education of his son. GAABESU appeals to all BEC/BEDCU/BESU Alumni to generously
donate to the cause of the Souvik Ghosh (99CE) and support his immediate family, in this hour of need.
A brief description of the case
· He was first diagnosed Hodgkin’s Lymphoma in June 2009. He was treated by chemotherapy
and radiation at Apollo cancer Hospital, Kolkata.
· Relapsed in January in Jan 2011. Underwent Bone marrow transplantation in April 2011 at
Apollo Cancer Hospital, Kolkata
· Further relapsed in January 2012. Thereafter he was on homeopathic treatment since March
2012 to March 2014.
· Then Souvik was diagnosed with Chronic Kidney disease due to aggravation of lymphoma in his
body. Both kidneys failed and he was under dialysis, since May 2014.
· His condition started deteriorating since Sept 2014 and his lungs and pelvis got affected with
cancer. He was unable to walk, speak and breathe properly. He continued office till end-Nov.
· On 01-dec Souvik was admitted in Columbia Asia Hospital. He breathed his last at 8.00am in the
morning, 18-Dec-2014.

How to Donate
A. Online payment through direct debit from bank account, Debit/Credit Cards, or Cash for remittances made in Rupees – Income tax benefits for Indian tax payers under 80(G)
GAABESU has streamlined Online Payment Collection System through the State Bank of India (SBI).
Payments to GAABESU for any approved purpose can be made using ANY of the following modes:
a) Direct debit from any Indian bank account (account maintained in Rupee and NOT in any foreign
currency)
b) Using and Indian Debit or Credit Card.
c) Cash deposit at any counter of SBI branch. The person making remittance needs to generate a
challan through this portal and use that challan to deposit cash at any SBI branch.
Step by step process
1. Go to www.onlinesbi.com
2. Click on the tab 'State Bank Collect'
3. Accept terms and conditions and then click 'Proceed'
4. Select State of Corporate/Institution- 'West Bengal' from the drop-down list
5. Select Type of Corporate/Institution- 'Others' from the drop down list
6. Select 'GAABESU' from the drop down list. A page with GAABESU name and logo will appear.
7. Select category- "Membership or Donation”
8. Enter all personal information in the Form that would pop up. Then select the Purpose of
Payment. You need to choose from Membership Subscription/Scholarship or Award/Emergency
Fund/Alumni Day/ Others. If you choose 'Others' then mention the details of purpose on the box
provided. Enter information texts into all the fields. Please avoid “,” or other special characters. For
remittance by non-alumni put “NA” into the fields asking for year of passing, branch, degree etc.
9. Enter the amount to be paid and then proceed.
10. Review the information.
11. Select the preferred payment options - direct bank debit/debit card/credit card/cash payment

B. Payment by Cheque – Income tax benefits for Indian tax payers under 80(G)
Cheques from Rupee accounts can be drawn in favour of ‘GAABESU” and sent to the following
address:
Honorary Secretary - GAABESU
University Guest House
Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur
Howrah-711103
WB, India
Please write personal details of the remitter and the purpose (Souvik Ghosh Emergency Fund) for
which the remittance is being made on the backside of the cheque.
C. Payment in USD – No Income tax benefit for donors
Please consider making a direct donation to the GAABESU account in Shibpur mentioned below. Regular electronic money transfer channels to India should work perfectly fine. Personally, we have used channels like ICICI Bank's Money2India. Setting up the GAABESU account as a "recipient" and then making a transfer took less than 5 minutes.
We urge you to consider using your electronic transfer mechanism of choice, Money2India, XOOM, etc. to make a contribution to this cause. Thank you for thinking of a very special member of the BE College community as his family struggles to regain some composure following this irreparable loss.
D. Remittances from other countries - No Income tax benefit for donors
Any remittance to GAABESU in foreign currency can be made to the following designated account
using bank wire transfer facility:
A/C Name: GAABESU- FC
A/C Type: Current Account
A/c Number: 1532050000550
Bank: United Bank of India
Branch: BESUS Branch
Address: B E College Campus, Shibpur; Howrah 711 103; INDIA
For online transfer:
· Swift code for electronic transfer: UTBIINBBOBC
IFSC Code for UBI, BESUS branch: UTBI0BUSF63 (5th letter stands for zero).

I see without USA contribution, nearly 2 lakh raised in a week which is good and once USA payment option (still waiting as Biswarup nor Subho confirmed yet). We will send another update for Souvik's case in next days once we have USA payment option confirmed.All alumni from 1996-2002 in our database should receive these mass mails. What we need is to forward these messages to batch/group mails (Yahoo/Google groups, FB). We also can ask them to subscribe to GAABESU mails.If needed, we will provide our database for 1996-2002 during the weekend which I need to download and filter. We need to make sure we use this list carefully.Best,SwapanOn Tuesday, January 6, 2015 5:06 AM, Bhaskar DasGupta <bha...@dasguptas.com> wrote:
This a very good suggestion. The respective executive committee forwards the messages/appeals. Niloy and Swapan will do the needful once the USA coordinator is identified.

Or if there can be a more focussed effort for this group parallel to the general effort. The reason is that 1996-2001 grads will have a better chance at knowing boudi or souvik.Think previously it was on the web, but not sure now.
