a veteran leader of the State Government Employees movement in Jharkhand, passed away on 7 March, 2012, at Dumka. He had been suffering a kidney ailment for the past three years.
Comrade Choubey had played a crucial role in building the employees movement in the Jharkhand region of unified Bihar, working closely with Comrade Yogeshwar Gopein battling the opportunist CPI(M) leadership and reorganising the employees movement under the leadership of the CPI(ML).
After the formation of Jharkhand, Comrade Choubey was one of the main architects who shaped the Mahasangh (federation) of State Government employees in Jharkhand.
Beyond the employees movement, too, he played an important role in developing the Party in the Santhal Pargana region, and was a member of the Dumka district committee of the party since its formation in the mid-90s.
