(সুন্দৰলাল বহুগুণাৰ জীৱন আৰু কৰ্মৰ ওপৰত এটি দফা লিখা।)

Answer: Sunderlal Bahuguna was born on January 9, 1927, in the hilly village of Marora, located on the banks of the Bhagirathi river in Tehri Garhwal. At the young age of fifteen in 1942, he was deeply inspired by Dev Suman, a Gandhian youth, to dedicate his life to public service. He made a firm decision to uplift the poor and oppressed villagers. When he was twenty, a meeting with social workers Mira Behn and Thakkar Bapa motivated him to start a school for scavengers. To truly understand the struggles of the poor, he even worked as a sweeper, a labourer, and a street vendor. Later, in 1956, at the age of twenty-nine, he married Vimla Nautiyal, and together they set up an ashram in Silyara village.

(১৯২৭ চনৰ ৯ জানুৱাৰীত তেহৰী গড়ৱালৰ ভাগীৰথী নদীৰ পাৰত থকা মাৰোৰা নামৰ পাহাৰীয়া গাঁৱত সুন্দৰলাল বহুগুণাৰ জন্ম হৈছিল। ১৯৪২ চনত পোন্ধৰ বছৰ বয়সত দেৱ সুমন নামৰ এজন গান্ধীবাদী যুৱকৰ দ্বাৰা অনুপ্ৰাণিত হৈ তেওঁ জনসাধাৰণৰ সেৱা কৰাৰ সংকল্প লৈছিল। তেওঁ দুখীয়া আৰু নিৰ্যাতিত গাঁৱলীয়া লোকসকলৰ উন্নতিৰ বাবে দৃঢ় সিদ্ধান্ত লৈছিল। বিশ বছৰ বয়সত মীৰা বেন আৰু ঠক্কৰ বাপা নামৰ সমাজকৰ্মী দুজনক লগ পোৱাৰ পিছত তেওঁ চাফাই কৰ্মীসকলৰ বাবে এখন বিদ্যালয় খুলিবলৈ অনুপ্ৰেৰণা পায়। দুখীয়া মানুহৰ দুখ-কষ্ট বুজিবলৈ তেওঁ আনকি ঝাড়ুদাৰ, বনুৱা আৰু ফেৰীৱালা হিচাপেও কাম কৰিছিল। পিছলৈ ১৯৫৬ চনত, ঊনত্ৰিশ বছৰ বয়সত তেওঁ বিমলা নৌটিয়ালক বিয়া কৰায় আৰু দুয়ো মিলি চিলিয়াৰা গাঁৱত এটা আশ্ৰম স্থাপন কৰে।)

(সুন্দৰলাল বহুগুণাৰ খোৱা-বোৱাৰ অভ্যাসৰ ওপৰত এটি দফা লিখা।)

Answer: The dietary habits of Sunderlal Bahuguna were very simple. He turned into a strict vegetarian at the age of eighteen. His diet consisted mainly of dry, coarse grains like jowar and mandua, along with some vegetables, dal, fruits, and nuts. He avoided eating rice and wheat because growing these crops requires a lot of water, and water scarcity is a growing problem. Furthermore, he gave up drinking tea, considering it an expensive luxury.

(সুন্দৰলাল বহুগুণাৰ খোৱা-বোৱাৰ অভ্যাস বৰ সাধাৰণ আছিল। ওঠৰ বছৰ বয়সতে তেওঁ সম্পূৰ্ণৰূপে নিৰামিষভোজী হৈ পৰিছিল। তেওঁৰ আহাৰত ঘাইকৈ জোৱাৰ আৰু মাণ্ডুৱাৰ দৰে শুকান শস্য, কিছুমান শাক-পাচলি, দাইল, ফলমূল আৰু বাদাম আছিল। তেওঁ চাউল আৰু ঘেঁহু খোৱা নাছিল কাৰণ এইবোৰ খেতি কৰিবলৈ বহুত পানীৰ প্ৰয়োজন হয় আৰু পানীৰ অভাৱ ক্ৰমান্বয়ে বাঢ়ি আহিছে। তদুপৰি, চাহ খোৱাটো এক ব্যয়বহুল বিলাসিতা বুলি ভাবি তেওঁ চাহ খোৱাও এৰি দিছিল।)
