Drama artist Dinesh Das has been awarded as best director for his new play ‘Chasama’ at Eastern India Science Drama Competition in Kolkata.
The Dhenkanal-based drama artist participated at the competition with the students of Panchayat Raj High School under Kamakashyanagar Sub-Division during the third week of this month.
The story of the drama was very unique and heart touching which was adjudged as best among all participants in eastern India. The drama was written and directed by him. The Panchayat Raj High School was awarded on the occasion.
Chasama depicts the thought and philosophy of Mahatma Gandhi through which he wanted to see a clean and better India, including a clean environment. The protagonist was worried after seeing the horrible situation and throws away his Chasma. The grim situation gradually however changes with self-realisation of people and use of modern science and technology. A new ‘Satyagraha’ started with Swachha Bharat Mission.
“Chasama shows a new direction to the society. Gandiji’s Chasma is only to see a clean world. The story of the drama illustrates how the dream of Gandhiji for a modern and clean India is possible with the advent of science and technology,” Das revealed.
The story was inimitable and mesmerized the audience as well as judges at the competition.
The drama was also selected for the Science Drama Competition at Mumbai. Das was felicitated by the school management at a special function.
