| Scintillating show by Deaf & Dumb students | | |  Early Times Report
JAMMU, Dec 18: It was a cultural show with a difference. The dancers were moving their feet with perfect facial expression synchronizing with lyrics and music that they were not actually hearing, for the performing artists were deaf and dumb. The loud music played at which they danced was for the entertainment of invited audience at Jammu Club. The talented artistes were the students of a school being run by a charitable society, J&K Samaj Kalyan Kendra. The show started with a dance of two 7th class students- Roshi and Satti, at tune of a popular bhajan "Yashodamaiyaterakaniya.." The movement of their feet on the floor with occasional full turn of the body with different musical notes left everyone dumbfounded. Their colourful costumes, facial expression and movement of steps were perfect. It was followed by "ShivTandava" by Vakesh Sharma of Katra. Attired like Lord Shiva holding the holy 'trishul'
( trident) in one hand and the damru (small drum) in another, Vakesh descended on the floor to the recorded tune of Shiv Tandava hymn and mesmerized the audience with his stunning and energetic performance. So impressed by the performance of these "children of lesser God" that two prominent personalities in the audience, A M Vatali, IPS(Retd) and Dr. K C Sharma, a celebrated rural surgeon from Udhampur, donated Rs 5000/- each to the Samaj Kalyan Kendra which runs the School on donations.
President of Samaj Kalyan Kendra, K B Jandial thanked the Chief Secretary for his appreciable help to the NGO in last six months and hoped that EP department would soon undertake repair and renovation work of the building in which the School is housed. He thanked Social Welfare and Education departments for their continuous support. He also gave detailed account of the help received from J&K Bank, Dr Maharaj Radzan, a NRI and many others. He said though vocational training courses in Computer and cutting and tailoring are regularly being conducted yet there was a need for bringing them under different centrally sponsored Skill Development schemes for enhancing their employability in private sector too. He thanked Dr. K C Sharma and AM Vatali for their contributions and hoped that others would too come forward for liberal contributions. Principal of the School Roshan Bhan gave the history of the NGO and its long journey. He pleaded for special measures for absorption of physically challenged students in Govt. departments.
Earlier the students welcomed the Chief Secretary and presented him a bouquet. |
