Covid Warriors will be felicitated on 72nd Republic Day by People’s Art Centre

People’s Art Centre celebrates its 1032nd program on 26th January 2021 in a very special manner. The event is being dedicated to all those people who from different walks of life dedicated their time, energy, and financial resources in helping other people fight the pandemic.

 

The pandemic was a completely unprecedented and disastrous event that turned the entire world upside down and people had to learn to cope with it. Apart from the medical aspect of the virus, the economic implications set a toll on the people. In India, there are many weaker sections that was impacted since they lived off daily wages. Mumbai particularly also has a large migrant population who were stranded without a home and no job. While the govt. did try and make things easy, it was the good-hearted men and women, who demonstrated incredible empathy towards the weaker sections of society.

 

Aptly titled ‘A Grand Felicitation of Covid-19 Warriors’the event would honour a variety of individuals who in their own capacity went out of the way to help the society recover from the pandemic crisis that overwhelmed the city and its neighboring areas. While some are prominent people, many others are good Samaritans who used their own resources to help the less privileged.

 

This felicitation ceremony that would be held at the Ravindra Natya Mandir, on 26th Jan 2021, 3.30pm. is part of the People’s Art Centre’s year-long Diamond Jubilee Celebration of Maharashtra State Formation. During the felicitation, around 20 people from different walks of life from Mumbai and its neighbouring areas would be honoured for their indomitable spirit and selfless dedication.

 

The chief guest for the occasion would be the Leader of the Opposition of the Maharashtra State Legislative Council, Shri Pravin Darekar along with other illustrious personalities shri Sada Sarvankar MLA, Smt. Kishori Pednekar (Mayor of Mumbai), Shri Ramesh  Chander IRS, Commissioner of G& ST, & who would be present.
