Guwahati: Inaugurating Gandhi Panorama 2022, an international festival of films on Mahatma Gandhi and his principles, at KBR auditorium of Cotton University (CU) in the city on Monday, Assam Governor professor Jagdish Mukhi commented that Gandhi Panorama is an innovative and unique medium to send across the philosophy and teachings of Bapu-ji to the younger generation.
“It’s a fitting tribute to Bapu-ji which will certainly help the coming generations to realize the dream of Mahatma Gandhi to make the nation an ideal place to seek truth, justice and benevolence. Bapu-ji possessed very lofty personality traits who believed in simple living based on the minimal needs of life. His multifarious and dynamic personality was based on truth,” said Governor Mukhi.
He also referred to many films including ‘The Making of Gandhi’, ‘He Ram’, ‘Gandhi My Father’, ‘Maine Gandhi Ko Nahi Mara’, etc. In each of the movies many untouched aspects of Gandhi-ji were projected which are useful for the younger generation. The Governor hoped that the film-fest would garner a huge footfall in the coming days and spread the life principles of Bapu-ji to a wider audience.
Designed to showcase 49 Indian and international films on Mahatma Gandhi in the festival, which is being held in seven districts namely Kamrup (metro), Dibrugarh, Jorhat, Nagaon, Cachar and Bongaigaon. The festival has been funded from the Governor’s discretionary fund. CU vice chancellor professor Bhabesh Chandra Goswami, Gandhi Panorama chairman Devendra Khandelwal, Kamrup (metro) district magistrate Pallav Gopal Jha, commissioner & secretary to the Governor SS Meenakshi Sundaram along with CU faculty members and students were present on the occasion.
