Kolkata, August 15: In a befitting commemoration of the 77th year of Indian Independence marking the 76th year of freedom from the bondage of British rule, Orphuli Yubosrat Sangha in association with the RCC Kolaghat and with the dedicated support of the Rotary Club of Calcutta Royals organised an exclusive recitation and sit and draw competition for the children of Orphuli village for various age groups.
The children of the village clad in their best colourful attire as they could afford as per their ability participated in the competition with great enthusiasm and zeal. The children were accompanied by their parents who also enjoyed the proceedings greatly.
Nearly two hundred participants took part in the competition which was efficiently organised by Orphuli Yubosrat Club. Eminent personalities of the village graced the occasion.
Some of the participants showed exceptional talent in reciting poems while others exhibited their extraordinary skill in the sit and draw competition.
Several of the participants preferred to recite poems on the theme of independence while others recited poems composed by some of the greatest poets of Bengal. While a number of participants in the sit and draw contest selected the subject of Indian independence which they portrayed through their paintings others chose to reveal through their paintings different topics that represented different themes.
A large number of rural folks turned up to witness the grand event.
Members of the Rotary Club of Calcutta Royals felt that some the participants of this distant village from Kolkata who showed great potential could accomplish exceptional feat if nurtured properly and Rotary Club of Calcutta Royals will sustain its endeavour in this regard by patronizing RCC Kolaghat for their praiseworthy effort.
The event was organised in a pleasant ambience against the backdrop of the Rupnarayan river and the simplicity of the village folks adding a special charm to the entire programme.
The colourful event came to an end with eminent personalities from Orphuli village and members of the Rotary Club of Calcutta Royals distributing prizes to the winners in various categories of the competition in conformity with the different age groups.
President of Rotary Club of Calcutta Royals Malini Soans, Secretary Indranee Ganguly, Treasurer Neelam Khanna, members Chitra Abedin, Saudull Abedin, Sanjoy Dutt, Biswajit Bose and Anjishnu Biswas conferred the honours to the winning participants.
Orphuli Yubosrat Sangha and RCC Kolaghat left no stone unturned in extending a warm reception to the members of the Rotary Club of Calcutta Royals in the most laudable manner. A sumptuous lunch with the unique taste of rural Bengal was served to the guests from Rotary Club of Calcutta Royals.
