Smaran Sangeet Vidyalaya of Laban and rich haul of prizes at the Ananda Sammelan this year. The institution, which caters to the little ones, bagged as many as 24 prizes in various categories. In vocal items, the eight year old Runa Goswami bagged six first prizes in different categories. Others to win prizes in songs are Indrani Chakraborty and Sudarsana Dhar.

But perhaps the Vidyalaya’s some heart-warming in dramatics. Its play-let entitled “Hillol” (script: Swapan Naug) was not only adjudged as the best drama but also walked way with five of the six prizes. The High light of the play was the brilliant performance by Indrani Chakraborty who deservingly lifted the best actress award. The eight-year old Indrani kept the audience spell bound by her flawless performance. She was ably supported by Sangita Gupta who won the Best Supporting Actress prize.

In dance on Tagore songs, Paramita Dutta of the same organization won the first prize.
