5^th Annual Programme of Shrutyonupras - the renowned Cultural Organization of Durgapur.

“Shrutyonupras” – the renowned cultural organization to develop the Children and Youths’ mind celebrated their 5^th Annual Programme on 1^st and 2^nd November 2014 at Netaji Bhawan, A-Zone Steel Township, Durgapur in a gala way.  Hundreds of people attended the programme and everybody praised the teamwork on both days. On the opening day that is on 1^st November after the lighting of the sacred pradeep  the group of  80 students from the age group of six to sixty performed ‘Dak Gharer Dak’ based on Rabindra Patra Sankalan written by Tagore in different times to his close associates and relatives. It is clear from the study that Rabindranath’s patrabali as a literary form constitutes a substantial part of Tagoreana. Tagore used his mighty pen to write large number of letters not only as a medium of personal communication but to express his ideas on different aspect of life and society. “An in-depth study of the letters reveals that many times Tagore used letters to draft his ideas of short stories or even poems. Megh-o-Roudra, Postmaster, Mrinmayi, Samapti and Chhuti make their first appearance in Tagore’s Letters. ” says Goutam Chakraborty the Director of the total programme.

           On the 2^nd day of  their celebration  the little stars jointly presented the famous poem  ‘Durer Palla’ by Satyendra Nath Dutta and near about 50 tiny-tots participated on this programme and highly enamored  the audiences.  In the concluding part of this programme the  senior students  presented “Sesher Kabiter Pore” based on Tagore’s famous novel Sesher Kobita which recounts the love story of Amit Ray a barrister educated at Oxford, whose virulent intellectualism reveals itself in its opposition to all forms of tradition. He meets Labannya in a car accident and the romance builds up in the misty hills of Shillong. Though the novel is primarily set in Shillong, it was written when Rabindranath was in Bangalore.


The novel also contains a self-reference of significance in Bangla literature. By the late 1920s, more than a decade after his Nobel Prize, Tagore had become a towering presence in Bengal, and was facing criticism. But Shrutyonupras established the newer form of this novel based on the present situation.
 
The entire script of both the days programme has written, directed and established by the renowned elocutionist  Goutam Chakraborty whose tireless effort helped him to usher such a unique presentation especially by  such tiny tots. All the audiences applauded his newer form of production. The other variety of entertainment on those days was the digitalized presentation of those facts and incidents with scene and scenarios, through projection on the stage,  during the life time of Rabindra Nath Tagore and the total job was performed by Sanjiv Dutta and Suman Dutta.  Total music was directed by Bodhichitta Bandopadhyay.

 Lastly they had arranged the Prize Distribution ceremony to the competitors of recitation of all age groups  which was held sometime in December last year and prizes were given by the renowned entrepreneur Jogendra Kumar Saha and Ajoy Roy the activist of Hemophilia of this city. Dipankar Chakraboty and Shampa Debnath presented Tagore Songs in their melodious tune  which ornamented the total programme. “All the Prizes prizes were sponsored  by one  benevolent custodian who is not interested to highlight his name for such noble activities”  - says  Goutam Chakraborty. Finally he is indebted to all the Guardians and the activist who sincerely helped him to materialize such a nice  programme in the heart of the city.  Nice food packets were served to all the artists and the guardians on the closing day by Shrutyonupras.
