A two-day long colourful cultural extravaganza was organized at the Jadavpur University (JU) to crown off its golden jubilee celebrations. On December 20 2005, former physics teacher at JU, Soumya Chakraborty, and alumnus Sudipto Chatterjee rocked the open-air theatre with soulful renderings of folk songs by Lalan Fakir, and also from North Bengal and Assam. Another ex-student, Sugata Nag mesmerized the gathering with a sitar recital. This was followed by the performance of the Rabindranath Tagore’s play, ‘Totakahini’ by a band of JU students.
The following day was reserved for Kavi Sammelan and paintings on poetry at the Indoor Stadium, followed by the release of commemorative stamp by P.K. Chatterjee, Chief Post Master General (West Bengal circle) and unveiling of portrait of Satis Chandra Mukhrjee by the Higher Education Minster, Government of West Bengal, Prof. Satya Sadhan Chakraborty. ‘Jadavpurer Gaan’ and performances by instrumental fusion band, ‘Indian Blue’ and Mamata Sankar’s ballet group, followed by spectacular fireworks were as if three red cherries on the top to convey three cheers to this fifty years young university.
