CUTURAL SYMPHONY creating awareness on THALLASSAEMIA was organised on 29.04.2023 at ITA, Machkhowa, which was inaugrated by DGND Rtn. Kameswar Singh Elangbam and First Charter Lady Rtn. Gayatri Bhattacharyya in presence of the President Rtn. Rajesh Bhatra. At the begining 14th annual Late Debakanta Kakati and Late Nirmali Kakati Vocational Awards was conferred upon two upcoming local entrepreneurs ie., Mr. BINOD DULU BORA and Ms. NABANITA DAS, with a CASH award of Rs. 10,000/- each alongwith certificates and citations. A comprehensive book on Thalasaemia, Hemophilia and Sickle cell diseases with articles written by noted doctors of our region and edited by Rtn Priyam Goswami was released by senior-most doctor of Guwahati, Dr. Naren N Barman. LIFE DROPS, a story created by way of sand art by Mr. Rabin Bar was screened. Thereafter, Dr. Lima Das (Sattriya), gave a scintillating performance with her troupe, followed by LIVE painting performance by renowned artist Mr. Rabin Bar (a world record holder for speed painting), who painted a LIVE SCENERY within 1 minute. He then painted a portrait of the on stage dancer within 2 minutes. Rabin Bar who also excels in signature painting, asked for a volunteer from the audience for a random signature to do a speed painting on it in two minutes. The impressed audience suggested auctioning of the same painting and bids followed closing at a whopping Rs. 50,000/- by a philantrophist who donated the proceeds to the cause. This amount was thereafter deposited in the Rotary Welfare Trust account. The generous purchaser of the painting presented the same to Rtn Kaberi Bhuyan on whose signature the painting was made.The stage was set and a young boy aged 10 years Master Rudra Gaur a sare-ga-ma silver medalist performed and moved the audience with his soulful rendition of ’Maa', a popular song of Zubin Garg, followed by screening of a short documentary by Bhishan Rai titled ’Maa', which portrayed the moving story of a young girl suffering from Thalassaemia. The much awaited performance of Dr. Partha Mohan, who rendered ghazals of late Jagjit Singh in an identical manner, enthralling the audience. Mr. Priyanku Bora an extremely talented flautist, left the audience spellbound with his magical and flawless performance on the flute. Indeed, it was a superlative conclusion to the Cultural Symphony Nite. The President and members of Rotary Club focussed on the messages 'Give blood, save lives', 'Help families of Thalassaemia patients' and ' Know the what and why of Thalassaemia'. Overall, it was a successful and memorable evening that carried home a powerful message that we are all together in the community to act for it whenever and wherever help is required. Program ended with singing of National Anthem.
