এখান থেকেই পাকি হানাদার বাহিনী এবং তাদের দোসররা বাংলাদেশের স্বাধীনতা যুদ্ধ চলাকালে ১৯৭১ সালের এপ্রিল মাসে রণদা প্রসাদ সাহা ও তার ২৬ বছর বয়সী সন্তান ভবানীপ্রসাদ সাহা (রবি) -কে তুলে নিয়ে যায়। এক সপ্তাহ পর তারা বাড়ী ফিরে আসলেও পুনরায় ৭ মে তাদেরকে নিয়ে যাওয়া হয়। এরপর তাঁদের আর কোনও খোঁজ পাওয়া যায়নি।

Kumudini Welfare Trust was founded by R P Shaha in June 1947. He was born poor, became very wealthy through his business ventures only to give away all his wealth voluntarily. Between 1938 and 1944 R P Shaha had set up a free dispensary, a 750-bed free hospital named Kumudini Hospital. He established Bharateswari Homes, Kumudini Girls’ College and Debendra College. In 1944 he donated an amount of Rs. 2,50,000/- to the British Red Cross. R P Shaha and his only son were abducted by the Pakistan Army and their collaborators in 1971. They never returned. Along with the hospital, the Trust now runs a Women’s Medical College, a Nursing School and a Nursing College. Funds required for running the welfare activities are obtained from the income generating units of the Trust like jute press and warehouse, garments industry, pharmaceuticals, river transportation, handicrafts etc.

Rai Bahadur Ranada Prasad Shaha was a true son of this soil, a man extraordinaire, whose life’s work and achievements are beyond comparison. Not only did he sacrifice his life for his beloved country but his legacy- Kumudini Welfare Trust of Bengal (KWT) - stands as the highest form of philanthropy. The Trust was founded in June 1947 with the mission of providing exclusive service to the suffering humanity.
