A magic button brought Jubilee Park alive, with thousands of fairy lights twinkling in memory of industrialist and visionary Jamshedji Nusserwanji Tata.
Illumination at Jubilee Park is always a must-see for thousands of steel city residents. This year, the lights focussed on digital activities of Tata Steel. lights also brought alive typical Tata concerns such as energy conservation and climate change as well as folk lore from life of Tata.
N Chandrasekaran, chairman, Tata Sons, switched on the illumination at the Founder's statue in Jubilee Park. It will be open for public viewing from March 2 to 5, 2017 from 6 pm to 10 pm.
Behind the bright lights were the nimble fingers and imagination of visualisers and light men from Chandannagar, Bengal. They have been behind the Founder’s Day show for the past three decades, and this year, they took 45 days to create the magic. One of this year’s most delightful visual treat was the fountain’s myriad hues. Working models also caught the attraction of visitors.
With the support of the citizens of Jamshedpur, a spectacular pageantry will be organised. It will be flagged off by N Chandrasekaran, chairman, Tata Sons, in front of the Founder’s Statue near Main Post Office, Bistupur.
The pageantry will include tableaus from Associate Companies, Social Organisations, Jamshedpur Armed Force (JAP) and Rapid Action Force (RAF). Approximately 2000 participants will take part in the pageantry.
