| Details |
The range of the innovations made by Prof Sen touched not only the lives but also the deaths. He invented the Druta Dahan Chulli or Fast Burning Furnace in 1989 which can also be called a green furnace for cremation. It is an environmental-friendly alternative to the traditional furnace for cremation among the Hindus.
The heart of this ‘Druta Dahan Chulli’ is an electric blower, which is run either by electricity or by generator with proper regulation. The fundamental improvement of this chulha is the fast and uniform burning of the corpse.
The success of the ‘Druta Dahan Chulli’ in the crematory ground of Silchar for the last two decades is a
testimony of Green Consciousness spread by Prof Sen. He was given a fitting finale in this furnace after his demise on June 9, 2004.
