for Best Theatre Production’ will be presented to Jigisha Ashtavinayak’s play
Bhumika, starring Sachin Khedekar, with producers Dilip Jadhav and Shripad
Padmakar also being honoured.
The highlight of the evening will be the conferment
of the Lata Deenanath Mangeshkar Award (5th year) upon Kailash Satyarthi,
recognising his extraordinary global contribution towards child rights and
social justice.
The Lata Deenanath Mangeshkar Award stands as a
symbol of national honour, celebrating individuals whose work creates a
profound and lasting impact.
Dr. Vishwanath Karad, Founder-President of MIT
World Peace University, Pune, will grace the occasion as Chief Guest. He is
widely respected for his vision of integrating science, spirituality and
value-based education.
