Through his persistent efforts, many underprivileged children gained access to formal education. He also emphasized cultural harmony between settlers and indigenous groups, promoting mutual respect and understanding. His vision helped lay the foundation for a more inclusive and educated island society.
Beyond education, Sarkar contributed significantly to social development and youth empowerment in the islands. He organized community workshops, awareness programs, and teacher training initiatives to strengthen local education systems. His compassionate approach and lifelong dedication earned him deep respect across the Andaman and Nicobar region. Even after his passing, his legacy continues to inspire educators and social workers who strive for equality and development through learning.
