The Literary Council of Bhutan (LCB), which was renamed from its previous name earlier in June, marked 103rd anniversary of Mahakabi Laxmi Prasad Devkota amidst various literary and cultural programs in Khudunabari, Tuesday.
Vice-chairman of the Council, Shiva Dahal, said that it was also an opportunity for the Council to inform of its activities and restructuring to exiled mass.
“Since its restructuring and renaming in June, the Council was planning to bring a program in camp for formal announcement, and we did it this time,” said Dahal.
Popular Nepali singer Ganesh Rashik, who was present as the chief guest, rocked Khudunabari with his famous song “Rato Bhale Kwaha Kwala…”.
Several artists from both Nepali and Bhutanese community presented their literary items to mark the anniversary.
Also, half a dozen songs and dances were also presented during the event that gathered a significant number of people from the camp and its vicinity.
Youth Friendly Center, Camp Management Committee and artists of the camp also played their crucial role in managing the event, informed Vice-chairman Dahal.
The Council has been very active in promoting literature of exiled Bhutanese through various activities. It has also been running a well-viewed portal www.bhutaneseliterature.com since three years.
Well done friends, wish you all happy and peace life. I felt sympathy seeing you back in refugee camp. I don’t know why you don’t like resettlement in third country. I dint see more audience are because most of the people left for western countries. Since you all are my brothers and sisters so, again I want to request you all to try to be out of refugee camp and start new life in third country. The life in the camp is so bad, please don’t end up your life in refugee camp. Be out from the camp and see the world. Wish you all the best, happy and peace life.
