O my beloved Brahmaputra, Mother,
O my ever-giving Brahmaputra, Mother,

Your mighty flow crashes through mountains,
enriching the banks you embrace.
The land of yours, fresh with the fragrance
of your rich and fertile soil—
soil that gives us life,
that speaks volumes of the history you carry.
From the valor of mighty Lachit Borphukan
to the wisdom of Saint Sankardeva,
you have shown us the path.
The land you nurture cradles our faith,
wrapped in history,
and nourished forever by your grace.

As you gush onward through eons, O Mother,
your grace finds newer forms along its path—
living on in works shaped and guarded by human hands.

O my beloved Brahmaputra, Mother,
O my ever-giving Brahmaputra, Mother,

From your blessed banks—
shaped by your tides and time—
was born Assam Gramin Bank,
a promise rooted in the land you nurtured
and the people you protected.

A promise to carry dignity
where rivers cannot reach,
to place trust in every hand,
to empower women through shared strength,
and through collective effort,
to reach those long deprived.
Cutting across caste, creed, and religion,
the living banks of this institution
flow beside you—
in quiet synchrony,
spreading your grace and blessings
to those who need them most.

O my beloved Brahmaputra, Mother,
O my ever-giving Brahmaputra,

Bless us with courage and strength
as we honor and sustain
the hands you birthed with care,
service, and dignity.
