On World Environment Day, renowned
instrumentalist-composer Grammy Jury Pandit Prodyut Mukherjee has initiated a
tree plantation program in the premises of legendary Rabindra Sangeet exponent
Kanika Bandyopadhyay's house. A Gulancha tree was planted in memory of the
martyred of Operation Sindoor and it was named "Desh", a Palash
sapling was planted for the residents of Nabina and Khanika Home, which was
named after the raga "Bahar", and the third tree, an Amaltas , which
was named "Lalit", was dedicated to the land of Shantiniketan.
All three saplings have been named after the ragas
of Indian Classical Music. This soil is like the soil of self-sacrifice, and
again the soil of music ,art and culture. Such an initiative was taken in
Santiniketan, the land of peace and tranquility of Rabindranath Tagore's soul,
especially in the premises of the residence of the legendary Rabindra Sangeet
legend Kanika Bandopadhyay. Everyone on behalf of the artist's family is happy
with this initiative. In cooperation with Elmhurst Institute and Mohar Bithika
Angan. Pandit Prodyut Mukherjee, Priyam Mukherjee, Ritapa Bhattacharya and
others were present at this tree plantation program. The name of such ragas was
used which Rabindranath Tagore repeatedly in creating his melodies.
Pandit Prodyut Mukherjee said, "June 5 is
World Environment Day as well as my birthday. If the earth on which I grew up
and breathe oxygen from the air is not healthy, what will we leave to our own
generation and future generations? Earlier, I planted trees on a disused
musical instrument. It was good to see and useful. Now, I have come to this
sacred land and planted trees, which is a matter of honor, pride and respect
for me." On behalf of the Elmhurst Institute of Community Studies, Priyam Mukherjee
and Ritapa Bhattacharya said, "The significance of planting Palash
saplings for the girls of the home is very deep. They are the ambassadors of
youth." It has been conceptualized by Sudipta Chanda.
