On the occasion of Rabindra Jayanti, Creative Jagat Art Academy, located on Tarani Road, Rangirkhari, Silchar, organized a delightful event. The program commenced with a welcome speech by the academy’s director, Mr. Ketan Deb Roy, who discussed the topic “Rabindranath and Art.” He eloquently conveyed that our poet laureate, Rabindranath Tagore, was indeed a true maestro of art.
The event’s chief guest was Dr. Shantanu Das, a professor in the Education Department at Silchar Women’s College. He was welcomed by Arpita Das, Koyel Deb Roy, and Sonali Chakraborty on behalf of the academy. In his address, Dr. Das highlighted that today’s highly competitive life and academic pressures are causing various problems, such as depression among children. He suggested that to escape this situation, we must turn to Rabindranath Tagore, who, almost a century ago, introduced stress-free practical education. He praised the director and all members of Creative Jagat, noting that he frequently visits the academy and is pleased to see children developing their latent talents in a joyful and supportive environment. He wished for the academy’s continued prosperity. Dr. Das then unveiled a bust of Tagore, crafted by academy member Mr. Saurav Deb.
The event featured various performances by the academy members and young students, including dance, songs, and recitations. The Rabindra Sangeet performances included Madhumita De, Moumita De, Tupsi Das, Madhumita Das, Arpita Das, Biprojit Pal, Ananta Kumar Choudhury, and Sonakshi Roy, accompanied on tabla by Biprojit Pal. Rabindra dance performances were presented by Suniska Das, Rishita Kairi, and Monty Malakar. Recitations were performed by Daibik Gupta, Medhansh Goswami, Shriyansh Paul, and Suniska Das. The entire event was hosted by Arpita Roy.
Additionally, live art in the form of paper collages was showcased by academy members Akash Nath and Arpita Roy. The academy’s room was beautifully decorated with canvas paintings of Tagore, created by Mayuri Pal Choudhury, Poulami De, Ratna Chakraborty, Sayantini Pal, and other members and students.
Finally, on behalf of everyone associated with Creative Jagat, Mr. Ketan Deb Roy expressed his gratitude to all attendees and invited everyone to continue their support in the future.
