Khowai, October 1:<\/strong> The Department of Information and Cultural Affairs (ICA), Government of Tripura, organised a state-level birth anniversary programme honouring legendary musician and composer Kumar Sachin Dev Burman at New Town Hall in Khowai on Thursday.

The programme began with the ceremonial lighting of the lamp by State Minister Animesh Debbarma, followed by floral tributes to the portrait of the legendary musician. MLA Pinaki Das Chowdhury, ICA Department Director Bimbisar Bhattacharya, Khowai Zilla Parishad Chairperson Aparna Singh Roy and other dignitaries were present at the event.

Addressing the gathering, Minister Animesh Debbarma highlighted Sachin Dev Burman’s lasting contribution to Indian music and his deep connection with the cultural roots of Tripura. He said that although decades have passed since the legendary composer’s time, his music continues to touch the hearts of people across generations.

The minister noted that Sachin Dev Burman, born into Tripura’s royal family on October 1, 1906, achieved lasting recognition through his musical talent and creativity. His compositions drew inspiration from folk traditions, rural life, rivers, fields and the everyday experiences of ordinary people. Despite achieving national recognition and building his career in Kolkata and Mumbai, his music retained a strong connection with his roots.

Emphasising the importance of preserving cultural identity, Debbarma encouraged young artists to take pride in their heritage while embracing modern opportunities. He called upon the younger generation to promote Kokborok music, Bengali folk traditions and indigenous musical instruments through contemporary platforms.

The minister also urged aspiring artists not to become discouraged by failure, stressing that dedication, continuous learning and creativity are essential for success. He observed that talent is not determined by one’s hometown or financial background, and that young people from smaller towns such as Khowai can also reach wider audiences through their work.

Debbarma further emphasised that commemorating Sachin Dev Burman’s birth anniversary should go beyond ceremonial tributes. According to him, the occasion should inspire efforts to nurture emerging talent and provide opportunities for the next generation of artists to showcase their abilities.

The programme also featured musical performances in remembrance of Sachin Dev Burman, celebrating his timeless compositions and enduring contribution to Indian music. The event highlighted the importance of carrying forward Tripura’s rich cultural heritage while encouraging new generations to create their own place in the world of music and art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
