GUWAHATI: "The 'Gandhi Panorama 2022' is an innovative and unique medium to send across the philosophy and teachings of Gandhi ji to the younger generation," said Assam Governor Jagdish Mukhi while inaugurating the event, which is an international festival of films on Gandhi ji and his principles in KBR auditorium, Cotton University here on Monday.
Speaking on the occasion, the Governor said that 'Gandhi Panorama 2022' is a fitting tribute to Bapu ji, which will certainly help the coming generations to realize the dream of Gandhi ji to make the nation an ideal place to seek truth, justice and benevolence.
Mukhi said that Bapu ji possessed very lofty personality traits and believed in simple living based on the minimal needs of life. Maybe that is why he often said - "My life is my message." His multifarious and dynamic personality was based on truth. Non-violence was another innate element of the remarkable legacy of Bapu ji, Mukhi added.
The Governor, in his speech, also referred to many films like 'The making of Gandhi', 'He Ram', 'Gandhi My Father', 'Maine Gandhi Ko Nahi Maara'. In each of the movies many untouched aspects of Gandhi ji were projected which are useful for the younger generation. He hoped that the film festival garners a huge footfall in the coming days and spreads the life principles of Bapu ji to a wider audience.
The 'Gandhi Panorama' is being held in seven locations of the State spread across Kamrup Metro, Dibrugarh, Jorhat, Nagaon, Cachar and Bongaigaon districts. The festival will feature several cinemas dealing with Gandhi ji and his principles. The film festival has been funded from the Governor's discretionary fund. A total of 49 Indian and International films on Bapu ji will be screened during this film festival.
Vice-Chancellor of Cotton University Bhabesh Chandra Goswami, Commissioner and Secretary to the Governor SS Meenakshi Sundaram, Chairman of Gandhi Panorama Devendra Khandelwal, Deputy Commissioner Kamrup (M) Pallav Gopal Jha, faculty members and students of Cotton University were present in the inaugural function.
