LATE SHRI J. B. KUMPAVAT
29.05.1943 – 15.11.2025
A LASTING LEGACY OF AFFECTION, COMMITMENT AND FRIENDSHIP
The passing away of Late Shri J. B. Kumpavat is an irreparable loss to the BDPA (INDIA) family. He was not merely an associate in our collective journey, but one of the dedicated pioneers whose vision, initiative and commitment helped shape our organization. On 25th April, 2006, when BDPA (INDIA) was formed, he played a key role in laying its foundation. He was equally instrumental in organizing its First Conference at Mehdi Nawab Jang Hall, Paldi, Ahmedabad, where a historic beginning was made by honoring pensioners who had completed 75 years of age. The then Chief General Manager, Gujarat Telecom Circle, and Principal General Manager, Ahmedabad Telecom District, graced that memorable occasion with their presence, making it a landmark event in our organizational history.
His active participation in meetings, seminars and conferences, including his memorable address at our First All India Conference at Tagore Hall, will remain cherished memories. He believed in the strength of collective effort, the dignity of senior citizens and the importance of standing together for the welfare and rightful aspirations of pensioners.
Though time has taken him away from our midst, his pioneering contribution, affection and enduring association will continue to inspire generations of BDPA members. We remember him with profound respect, affection and heartfelt gratitude.
BDPA (INDIA) bows its head in respectful homage to a founding colleague, a committed pioneer and a dear friend.
His presence may have departed, but his contribution shall remain etched in the history and heart of our organization.
May his noble soul rest in eternal peace.
With respectful homage,
DINESH D. MISTRY
General Secretary
BDPA (INDIA), AHMEDABAD
