Birju Maharaj was a master vocalist who could do Thumri, Dadra, Bhajan, and Ghazal.

He was a brilliant storyteller, weaving episodes from his life into his performances in order to engage the audience. He was also intensely observant, and he usually had something to say about everyday events, amusing those around him with realistic impersonations and colourful descriptions.

“Extremely saddened by the news about the passing away of Legendary Kathak Dancer- Pandit Birju Maharaj ji. We have lost an unparalleled institution in the field of the performing arts. He has influenced many generations through his genius. May he rest in peace,” singer Adnan Sami tweeted.

Subhash Ghai, Ashoke Pandit and others also mourned the Kathak’s legend demise.

A Study Revealed Loopholes Of Online Learning In Odisha

by RTD Journal
written by RTD Journal

Bhubaneswar: Contrary to the government’s claim that 33 percent of 60 lakh students aged 6 to 14 who pursue a primary education in Odisha and attend online classes, a study found that only about 6 lakh students receive digital learning. A study entitled ‘Paused Classrooms’, conducted by Save the Children and the Odisha RTE Forum, was released on Wednesday.

The study aimed to understand the state of education, especially pre-school education and primary education during the Covid-19 period in Odisha, which said that not only did the pandemic slow down children’s learning but also created digital disparities between students in urban and rural areas of the State. It pointed out that the Department of School Education and Mass education had not addressed the issues of infrastructure and connectivity in the rural areas of the State before launching an online education program.

The study revealed that the Odisha Shiksha Sanjog program, which focused on e-teaching during the epidemic, could not cover even the PCs of 50 schoolchildren outside the Khurda district. The program was launched by the Department of School and Mass Education last year to engage students in the WhatsApp group learning program. This apart, the pandemic has brought to a complete halt mother tongue-based learning for tribal children.

While 22 out of 63 communities in the State are studying the curriculum in their mother tongue until class 5 and Odia and English are not heard in it, the study found that there is no specific program for the government through online learning. in their own language. No elementary school student currently has access to material in his or her mother tongue. Odisha RTE Forum coordinator Anil Pradhan said online education was also a new concept for many teachers who were technically weak.

“The online learning system was also affected during the pandemic because teachers were unfamiliar with e-learning and found it difficult to communicate with students. Therefore, they could not conduct online classes regularly and efficiently,” he said. Other than that, the process of online learning remains one-sided without communication space or moments to eliminate doubts and follow-up by teachers. The study was conducted in 15 districts.( government’s claim)

The Role Of Odissi Dance And Music In Indian Society

The Role Of Odissi Dance And Music In Indian Society

by Soumyashree Mishra
written by Soumyashree Mishra

Odisha is the state of temples and it’s legacy of dance and music tradition is clearly reflected through the postures, the expressions, the costumes, the instruments carried and the situations depicted, all in the sculptures of the temples like a mirror of ancient past. Odisha has a rich artistic heritage and has produced some of the finest examples of Indian art and architecture. In tribal areas Odisha has a wide variety of dances. Music of the MADAL(a type of local drum) and flute is characteristic of the countryside.
Besides all, the classical dance of Odisha , known as ODISSI, has survived for more than 700 years. Originally it was a temple dance performed for the Gods. With their delicate movements and charming expression odissi dancers justify each and every rhythm of the song and make the dance more graceful. It is considered as the oldest surviving dance form of India on the basis of archaeological evidences. The origin of this dance can be traced back to the 2nd century B.C. carvings of the Rani Gumpa caves in Udaygiri, Odisha. The Natya Shastra refers to this dance as ODAR MAGADHA.
The techniques of movement are built around by two basic postures of the CHOWKAND the TRIBHANGA. The CHOWK is a position imitating a square – a very masculine stance with the weight of the body equally balanced. The TRIBHANGA is a very feminine stance where the body is deflected at the neck, torso and the knees.
BHUMIPRANAM
The beginning of an odissi dance recital is with the BHUMIPRANAM, an obeisance to the chosen deity. It is also known as MANGALACHARAN. It is in praise of either Lord Ganesh, Lord Jagannath or Adi shakti. A line of poetry is set to music and it is performed with a combination of pure dance steps, expressing the meaning through the gestures.
BATU NRITYA
It is considered as the most difficult item as it introduces the full gamut of nritta technique. Beginning with a CHAUKA position in a slow tempt gradually moves to intricate movements.
COSTUMES
It has a stitched costume made out of the special Odisha handloom sarees. The sarees have their special borders and intricate designs. Earlier there were no stitched costumes but only sarees were used to be draped around. But over a period of time, the stitched costume has been used more frequently because of its convenience. The odissi jwellery is in silver. The dancers wears a choker, a longer necklace, armlets, bracelets, a belt, anklets, earrings. The dancers also wear an intricate head piece , delicately made out of solo, representing flowers around the hair, and a piece of protruding upward, representing the top of a temple

IMPORTANT FIGURES AND THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS.
After studying BHARATANATYAM at kalakshetra, Sanjukta Panigrahi returned to Odisha to work with her guru, Kelucharan Mohapatra. As a performer, and in partnership with her musician husband Raghunath Panigrahi , she became a trailblazer in the field odissi, winning National and International acclaim. Kumkum Mohanty , also among the first generation of odissi performers , became the Chief Executive of Odissi Research Centre in 1980. Pankaj Charan Das is now acknowledged as the Adi-Guru of Odissi was known for his greatest choreography such as PANCHKANYA, GATIVILAS PALLAVI, BHASMASURA.
Deba Prasad Das was the first Odissi guru to tour internationally. His style is direct and conveys a clarity of movement and feeling. Of all the gurus, Kelucharan Mohapatra is perhaps the most prolific and widely known. He is remembered for his virtuosic skills as a choreographer, musician and as a performer excelling in abhinaya.
CONCLUSION
Being a odissi dancer, I want to add some of my opinions which i have experienced in the past years. I joined my odissi dance classes when I was just 9 years old. I had no clue about the dance form, my mother always wanted that i should learn odissi. Gradually, I love the dance forms, mesmerized by the sublime medley of movements, gestures and expressions that odissi offered. The dance form also gave me a reality check, while learning PALLAVI, it took me almost 2 years to master the sync between my footwork and my facial expressions. Later on, i can connect with the audiences emotionally with my performance. I represented my dance in state level and many dance festivals. Even after so many years and tangible success, the nasty comments and taunts have not ended. Every time I was taunted by a statement, “ODISSI IS SO BORING” , by this statement you are not insulting me, you are insulting your culture, your state. Although the dance form is still remains rooted in tradition, a change in narrative content which aimed at making it more relevant to the masses. Evoking people’s emotions through my dance is the highest honor for me. However the only difference is I consciously focuses on praises and constructive criticisms.

ICMR Suggests To Reopen Primary Schools First; Odisha Govt Says Ready, Wants Central Guidelines

by Ankita Mohanty
written by Ankita Mohanty

Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) DG Dr Balram Bhargava recently suggested that opening primary schools first before opening secondary schools would be ideal. Large speculation arose whether the Odisha government will think over the suggestion or not.

The fourth round of the serosurvey suggested that children can handle viral infections better than adults.  While those between 6 and 9 years of age showed a 57.2 per cent seroprevalence, it was found 61.6 per cent among those between 10 and 17 years.

The Director of Directorate of Medical Education and Training (DMET) Dr CBK Mohanty appreciated the suggestion made by Dr Bhargava and said if the Centre chalks out a set of guidelines based on the survey, the State will follow and can act accordingly.

“The Home Ministry is yet to come up with the guidelines. They have just made a suggestion. We have no problems in following the guidelines of the Centre over the same,” said Mohanty. Revolving the safety of children, paediatricians strongly object to the opening of schools, stating that there is a need to wait for a few more months.

“We should wait for 2-4 months to know the intensity of the possible third wave and the vaccines to come. It will be pre-mature to open schools now,” said Dr Sunil Agarwal, a paediatrician.

The ICMR has also said that all schools staff, whether teachers, school bus drivers or other staff members, need to be fully vaccinated before the reopening of the institutions. However, the Odisha government has not been able to fully vaccinate every other person in the state making the ordeal equally complicated.

Similarly, parents are equally wary of sending their wards to school fearing for their safety, as each one of the staff isn’t vaccinated.

“We are definitely in a state of fear, but if all the teachers and staff are fully vaccinated and there will be regular sanitisation, we would have no problem in sending our kids to schools,” said Pallavi Kar, a parent.

As 2021 marks the second year of lockdown, there is a growing trepidation among students. “Online teaching is not that fruitful and it would be better to have classes offline in schools,” said Parthsarathy Behera, a student from Sundergarh complains. He is not satisfied with online classes.
