National Award winning film and stage actor Soumitra Chatterjee was awarded for his contribution to immortalise Tagore-created characters and poems through his acting and recitation respectively. Due to some personal engagements, he couldn’t attend the ceremony, but film director Anjan Das received the award on his behalf. Each of these awardees received Rs. 1,00,000 in prize money each, including a gold medal and a citation. Along with these awards, IIPM also announced the institution of three foundations (worth Rs. 10,00,000 each) in the memory of four legendary contributors, namely Shambhu Mitra (theatre), Satyajit Ray (film), Nandalal Bose & Ramkinker Baij (fine arts). The earnings from each of these funds will be utilised to honour and nurture the talents in these three fields. The ceremony ended with an expectedly inspiring speech of the Honorary Dean of IIPM, Prof. Arindam Chaudhuri. In his uniquely majestic deportment, Prof Chaudhuri took us down the memory lane of his childhood and spoke about his love for Tagore. He said, “Tagore’s vision of equitable society is still prevalent. We haven’t yet been completely successful to craft a society where humanistic values like ‘survival of the weakest’ will be a common practice. We need to imbibe Tagore’s philosophy and make our society a better place to live for the future generations.”
