Prabhat Natyotsav —
a big draw
The 15th Prabhat Memorial Natyotsav-2005 emerged as a popular event in performing arts with 27 teams from schools and colleges contesting in theatre and eight in the skit and histrionics category.
The annual natyotsav is organised by a society of performing arts, Sambhang, in memory of young thespian Prabhat Gupta, an alumnus of the Department of Indian Theatre, Panjab University in whose honour the university had instituted a gold medal. Inaugurating the natyotsav, at the auditorium of the Government College for Girls today, AK Malhotra General Manger, CITCO, paid tributes to Prabhat, who made supreme sacrifice to save the life of a child unknown to him. The theme of most of the plays staged today was structured to project socio- political issues, degeneration of moral values and promote love, amity and patriotism among the credulous masses. Though young performing artistes, especially from schools, lacked proper conceptual grasp of plays like “Ashad ka Ek Din, they made enthusiastic attempts to infuse life into the characters they portrayed. However, the second session in the college category witnessed a close contest in overall aesthetic potential and technical backup. Mrs Usha Nair, DGM, State Bank of India, Punjab and Chandigarh, lauded the efforts of the Sambhang chairman, Dr S. Gupt. The panel of judges, led by acclaimed film personality Surinder Sharma, included Dr Navjot Kaur and Upendra Bhatnagar. The following are the winners in the school category.
