About Ellora Roychoudhury

Ellora Roychoudhury passed away young, but set a sterling example even in death. Roychoudhury succumbed to cancer at her Hedayatpur residence at the age of 34, and as she had willed, her family wasted no time in handing over the body to the anatomy department of the Gauhati Medical College and Hospital (GMCH) for research.

It was a “donation” the college accepted with gratitude and respect, for not many people make the unselfish decision that Roychoudhury did when she was alive.

Roychoudhury’s eyes were donated to the Shankardev Netralaya. Her husband has made a similar will. We hoped Roychoudhury’s gesture would inspire others to donate their bodies.
