In an exclusive interview with Tripuraindia.com, Bhowmik expressed his happiness and said, this is, indeed, a proud moment for him as he feels that he has done something for the state. When asked for his views on Tripura’s cricket, he said that his achievement in the national level proved that if someone was doing his or her duty with sincerity and devotion, success was not far ahead. “My suggestion to Tripura cricketers would be that they should think big—of playing national and international matches” Bhowmik said.

Notably, Bhowmik had perused his curator course in the year of 1997. In the year of 2012 Bhowmik completed his course from BCCI and was appointed as the chief curator of eastern zone in the same year.
