Subsequently, his condition deteriorated. As there was no hospital with ICU facility in the entire district of Rayagada, he had to be transferred by ambulance overnight to Bhubaneswar, where he was admitted to a private hospital ICU on the 10th. After struggling for 4 days, he expired on the 15th morning, leaving behind his wife Jyoti, daughter Khushi, and a countless number of friends among farmers, tribal women and students in Odisha and a large number of activists and journalists across the world.<br \/><br \/>Debjeet was one of the greatest friends of Basudha and Vrihi, and was the key person who initiated and facilitated the shift of Basudha and Vrihi from West Bengal to Odisha in 2011. All the works and operations of Basudha received unconditional support \u2013 financially and logistically \u2013 and stood as Basudha\u2019s local guardian.<\/p><p>His absence is the greatest loss to Basudha. The void he left in Basudha will never be filled up. His memory will never fade from the minds of Basudha\u2019s members and friends.<\/p><p>Obituaries: by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thewire.in\/rights\/living-farms-debjeet-sarangi-obituary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Kavitha Kuruganthi<\/a>;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/thewire.in\/rights\/debjeet-sarangi-living-farms-odisha\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Parul Abrol<\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sri Debjeet Sarangi, the Foounder and head of Living Farms, Odisha\u2019s leading organization to fight for agrobiodiversity conservation and indigenous land rights, passed away on 15 May 2021 of COVID-19.
