Every Assamese recalls the magnanimous and magnificent achievements of Roopkonwar Jyotiprasad Agarwalla with pride and grandeur. He was considered an Assamese cultural icon, deeply revered for his creative vision and output and is popularly called the Roopkonwar of Assamese culture. His death anniversary (17 January) is celebrated as Silpi divas (Artists' Day) in his honor and we are proud to orga
nize this event. The significance is- everyone has been remembering Jyoti prasad but with the passage of time and tide, that special and exhilarating piece of culture has been depleting. In the modern world people are so busy amidst the modern culture and westernization which has resulted in significant nonchalance among the masses. But NBC has done this program keeping in mind about the youth, the new culture and the contemporary society. It is inevitable need to create awareness among new generation and unveil the pride of Assam Jyoti Prasad in a new way- this is the importance of our program!
