Essequibo: Cheddi Jagan Biodiversity Park Function

As a special programme honouring the Memory of both Dr. Cheddi Jagan and Janet Jagan there was a Cultural Presentation and Lectures on Sunday 28th March 2010 at the Cheddi Jagan Biodiversity Park, Lima Sands, Essequibo.

The main aspect comprising of lectures featured brief presentations by former Essequibo Region Member of Parliament Heeralall Mohan, and Regional Vice Chairman and Isahack Basir, long standing PPP representative and Regional official. Comrade Mohan related seven points of development associated with Mrs. Janet Jagan. Comrade Basir concentrated on the historical trends established by the People’s Progressive Party, and identified what the colours of the party flag represented. Before the PPP there had been no other institution that had organised and mobilised the working people to struggle and to unite for their rights.

To mark the first year since the death of Janet Jagan two large granite stones, 3 ft x 2 ft were painted and inscribed with the names Cheddi Jagan and Janet Jagan. These were placed on display and created quite an interest.

Teachers from several schools within the sub region were present, including some from Lima Sands Primary, the Moslem representative from the Charity masjid and others. There were also special invitees from the Essequibo Technical Institute, the Essequibo branch of the Guyana School of Agriculture as well as six overseas guests from Canada and the United States.

The programme commenced at 10:00 hrs. Mrs. Sabra Basir was also included amongst the speakers. There was also a wreath laying ceremony to honour the two national, state and party leaders. Those who laid floral tributes were Sabra Basir on behalf of the women of the Region; Heeralall Mohan on behalf of Region Two (Supenaam/Charity); Rambarran Dass on behalf of the Guyana Agricultural and General Workers Union (GAWU) and Farouk Basir on behalf of the Progressive Youth Organisation.

To round off events there was a stirring rendition of the Party Song.

The Cheddi Jagan Research Centre was established in 2000 by the late Janet Jagan as a tribute to the Father of Our Nation, Dr. Cheddi Jagan. Since its establishment, the Research Centre has worked to catalogue and preserve the papers of Dr. Jagan and make the contents available for students and other interested parties to access for research. The centre now houses not only a large collection of papers, but also more than 360 audio presentations and 180 video engagements of Dr. Jagan. There is an extensive photographic collection spanning the life of Dr. Jagan and we are currently working on collecting Dr. Jagan’s contributions to the National Assembly preserved in the Hansards.

This conference is the first attempt (since Dr Jagan’s death) to bring together, in Guyana, participants who can advance the work of Dr. Jagan on the New Global Human Order. We hope that this will signal the start of more such activities which will advance the work of Dr. Jagan in other areas so that the full measure of his contributions will continue to live on for the benefit of all Guyanese.
