The ground floor of the Barkotoki residence at Panchabati, Guwahati houses the office of the Trust as well as a library cum reading room. This library has books belonging to Munin Barkataki and the books of the Munin Barkotoki Literary Award winners.
In 2012, a fellowship was awarded to a scholar to decipher the diaries of Munin Barkotoki.
The Trust is particularly keen to support a student historian who would be interested in doing a comprehensive biography of Satyen Barkataki, possibly as part of his/her doctoral project. Interested candidates are requested to contact the Managing Trustee.
After the death of Renuka Devi Barkataki in 2017, the rest of the ground floor of the Barkotoki residence has been repurposed as a meeting place for Senior Citizens named Addaghar [remove the link to the Addaghar webpage]. Established on 1 March 2019, the senior citizens currently meet twice a week and interact among themselves as well as with guests. For more information about Addaghar activities, please follow the Addaghar FB page.
On 29th November 2024, a small hall named Sabhaghar was inaugurated at the second floor of the Barkotoki premises at Panchabati by senior Trustee Upendra Barkataki. Suitable for small meetings and discussion forums, this space is expected to contribute to the literary and cultural scene of the region. Since the beginning, at least four literary programmes are being held every month at Sabhaghar. For more information about Sabhaghar, click here. For a short promotional video, click here.
