Celebration of the Birth Anniversary of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay

On 15 September, a Skit Competition was organized by the Department of English and Literary Studies to celebrate the Birth Anniversary of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay. By performing a skit based on Chattopadhyay’s works, the students celebrated the rich diversity of the human experience represented in the texts of this literary maestro.

Students from all departments participated in the event which began with the welcome speech by Monamie Mukherjee, Assistant Professor, Department of English and Literary Studies. The event started with the performance on ‘Devdas’ and it was performed by a team of B.Tech AIML students. The love and longing presented in this skit was followed by brilliant performances of varied works like ‘Bohurupi’ (excerpt from ‘Srikanto’), ‘Lalu’,’Sashan’ and other excerpts from ‘Charitraheen’ and ‘Devdas’.

It was a great sight to watch students put so much thought and effort into dressing up for their parts. The event ended with Professor Monamie Mukherjee encouraging students to develop their skills and participate in more such activities in the future.
