The Jawaharlal Nehru Manipur Dance Academy Students' Union organized the 'Guru Pujah' today at the auditorium of the Academy with Dr RK Nimai, Commissioner of Art and Culture Department, attending as Chief Guest.
The function was also attended by Prof N Tombi, vice-chairman of JN Manipur Dance Academy as President while L Upendro Sharma, director and A Tombinou Devi, pradhan guru of the academy as Guests of Honour.
Speaking on the occasion, RK Nimai stated that the relationship between student and guru is even bigger than the parent-son relationship and added that only idolizing guru is not enough as students have to follow every word their guru tell them to carry out.
He said art and culture is something which is physiological in nature.
So, the works of this art form do not come easily in public domain and asserted that syllabus of art and culture is vast but topic on classical dance and folk song have been already included in school and college syllabus.
