OBC hostel in the offing

From our Correspondent
SILCHAR, May 3: With a view to enable a better scope of education for the OBC students, Rajib Locan Pegu, Minister of the Department of Welfare of Plain Tribes and Backward Classes (WPT and BC) laid foundation stone for a hostel here recently. The RCC hostel, worth Rs 2.49 crore, will incorporate 100 boys and girls.

While addressing the gathering at Bhubeneswar Sadhu Thakur Sevashram, situated just behind the hostel site, underlined the importance of such hostel in the town for the students belonging to other backward caste. Lauding the efforts of Bishnupriya Manipuri Development Council for taking the initiative to establish the hostel, he said that any community would develop only through education. He pointed out that he would try his best to facilitate development of all the diverse communities of the State for overall development of the State.

The minister added that the entire garden blossoms only when each flower blooms. It was his opinion that there was no replacement of education. He hoped that the hostel would be benefitted for the needy and brilliant students.

The hostel, sponsored by Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment, will come as a boon for some of the students who could not pursue their higher education due to lack of proper accommodation in and around the town.

Kabindra Purkayastha, MP, while speaking on the occasion, brought into focus the various public issues of the valley and sought the intervention of the visiting Minister. Throwing light on the unprecedented erosion of river Barak at Tarapur Shibbari area, he said that the people living around the area have been living their life in distress and misery. He added that it has been a recurring menace for the inhabitants of the area for the last 30 years.

Seeking the intervention of the Minister of WPT and BC into the matter, the MP said that if the erosion continues, then the day is not far when the surface communication through this route will come to a halt. Echoing Pegu, the MP also appreciated the efforts of the members of BMDC and exhorted them to continue their good works for the larger interest of the society.

In her speech, Sushmita Dev, MLA and the chairperson of Silchar Municipal Board, said that due to the availability of proper land, various governmental schemes remained unimplemented. She, however, assured that she was looking after the issue and would resolve the problems. Appreciating the government, Dev highlighted the different schemes and projects of the government and urged the common people to take benefit of these schemes.

A life devoted to poetry

Courtesy: The Sentinel By Champalal Sinha In the world of present Bishnupriya Manipuri literature, the man who first makes his imprint on our minds and reflects his image in our eyes, and the name that comes first while discussing the literature of the community is poet Brojendra Kumar Sinha. His fault-finders will, however, have a different view. His is a life totally devoted to poetry, and this is his first identity. It’s poet Brojendra Kumar Sinha who first introduced structural aspect, subject matter, mode of expression, appeal, soul (core), rhetoric and the like in a conscious way in Bishnupriya Manipuri literature in order to put it on a par with developed literatures in the world.

His poems have been translated and published in English, Bengali, Assamese, Nepali, Kokborok, Manipuri, Urdu and other languages, and received with applause.

The 'Star' Krishankant Sinha of Space City Sigma

By RK Rishikesh Sinha, New Delhi It is a myth that the all-knowing Internet knows everything. One such myth relates to old television stuff aired on Doordarshan before 1990. Search in Google “Space City Sigma”, the search engine would throw up reminiscent results from the people who still long for those days. Those days were really golden days. Krishankant Sinha in the role of Captain Tara in Space City Singma For those who have watched Doordarshan some 15 to 20 years back, am sure they will have nostalgic memories of it. The days when possessing a now ubiquitous looking television set was a luxury. It was a neighbour’s envy product. It was a visual product to showoff, to flaunt that we have a television set . Those were the days when black and white, locked television was rarely found in homes. The days became immortal for teleserials like Ramayana, Mahabharata, Swami’s Malgudi Days (Ta-Na-Na-Na…), Ek-Do-Teen-Char (Title song: Ek do teen char, chaaro mil ke saath chale to ...
