Nahar. He first presented a composition in raag Vachaspati and then a tappa followed by a thumri in the Punjabi ang. The stage was then taken by veteran vocalist Pandit Ajay Chakrabarty who mesmerised the audience with his rendition of raag Abhogi followed by raag Darbari Kanhada. Chakrabarty was a delight owing to his immaculately rounding up complicated and intricate combinations and coming back to stick to the taal. His “larant-bhirant” with the tabla left the audience astounded. The section of the performance with the guru prompting his disciples to sing complex compositions and the shishya singing back to the guru was a joy to listen to. He was accompanied by Yogesh Swami on tabla, Brajeshawar Mukherjee on harmonium and Anal Chatterji on tanpura. Chakrabarty’s performance was followed by a tabla recital by Sukhwinder Singh Pinki and Sukhdev on harmonium. He performed Roop ki Savari, teen taal in the Benaras gharana style and the Ganesh vandana. The performance came to a close with a chhand from the bani of Guru Gobind Singh.

Later, when he approached Anuj Solanki for payment of potatoes, he told him that north regional manager of his company Subhash Patnayak would make payment with in three days to him.

170 govt schools’ students get scholarship
Jalandhar, December 29 The meritorious students would be awarded a scholarship
of Rs 500 each till class XII. The scholarship is meant for the students
of government school, government aided schools and local bodies schools. The exam was conducted by the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT), Punjab, on August 10. Revealing this, DEO (secondary), Harinder Sahni said the exam would further enhance the academic capability of the students in the higher classes. “Each student will be able to avail himself of a financial benefit of Rs 24,000 each for a period of four years. As many students come from financially weaker sections of the society, therefore this will help in bridging the social gap as well,” he said. And to continue with the same excellence in higher classes as well
the SCERT had put a condition on their performance. The meritorious students of this exam would have to achieve at least 55 per cent marks in class IX, 60 per cent in class X and 55 per cent marks in class XI. “In case the student fails to meet these standards, the scholarship will be scrapped. But we are hopeful that these parameters will motivate the students to continue with the same excellence in education. “And this in turn will help the Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) in improving the academic results of higher classes in the years to come,”
added Sahni. |
