Zubeen Garg’s Family Launches Trust to Preserve Late Singer’s Legacy.
Garima Garg, wife of the late cultural icon Zubeen Garg, on Friday announced the formation of a trust in his name to safeguard and carry forward his artistic, social, and cultural legacy in Assam. The announcement also came with a renewed call for swift justice in the case surrounding his murder.
Speaking to reporters, Garima, joined by family members and close associates, said she hopes the coming year brings peace and positivity for everyone, and expressed confidence that justice will prevail. “Zubeen dedicated his life to the people of Assam. It is now our responsibility to uphold his values and carry forward his work by following the path he showed,” she said.
After three-and-a-half months of consultations with family, friends, and well-wishers, the Zubeen Garg Trust was formally established. The family’s property in Kharghuli will become a hub for social, cultural, and creative activities that were dear to the late singer.
The trust will operate through three wings:
Kalaguru Foundation – promoting socio-cultural initiatives.
Abhinaya Performing Arts – supporting theatre and performance arts, especially among youth (originally founded by Zubeen in his sister’s name).
Research Wing – documenting Zubeen Garg’s life, works, and contributions to Assam’s culture, while preserving his intellectual property.
Garima also thanked Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and the state government for steps taken in the investigation and urged authorities to expedite the probe to ensure timely justice.
The trust’s activities will cover society, culture, youth welfare, nature conservation, and public health. Health camps in Zubeen Garg’s name have already been organised in remote areas. The initiative has received support from friends, Assam’s cultural and administrative communities, media circles, and Zubeen’s fan club, fondly called his “army.”
“This trust will ensure that Zubeen Garg’s ideals, creativity, and lifelong dedication to Assam continue to inspire future generations,” the family said in a statement.
