Description:
It is with deep sadness and heavy hearts that we inform you of the death of Ms. Bula Ganguly.
Ms. Bula Ganguly was an ex-pupil of St.Agnes’ Loreto Day School after which she did her Intermediate from Loreto College.
She joined the sports department, played one test match as an Indian team member, was the coach for the junior women’s hockey team twice, produced many International players and was the Principal of Beer BahadurSports College at Gorakhpur. She was also the founder of the girls’ hockey team there, etc.
Ms.Bula Ganguly, a retired Government sports official lived with her married brother Nirmal and his family -she cared a lot for animals and plants. She devoted her life to hockey and represented India and UP over the years. A very lively person - fond of good clothes and food, meeting people, socializing - a very alive person full of zest for life. All her students thought very highly of her and gave immense respect to her. She was also our chief guest on one of the Junior School sports day. She had heart problems earlier too but had recovered from it . This time it was very sudden - she was gone before medical help arrived .
She passed away on 7th March in the evening after she suffered a cardiac arrest at her home. Ms.Ganguly was not only a valuable alumni of our school but was also a coach of the hockey teams of Lucknow Sports Hostel. She was the Regional Sports Director of Green Park Stadium and she retired as a Sports Officer.
We will all miss her more than the words can express. A repose was held during the morning assembly for the departed soul, followed by a minute’s silence to pay our tribute to Ms.Ganguly.
