The Kolkata based theatre group Padatik announces the Shyamanand Jalan National Youth Theatre Award 2011. Shri Shyamanand Jalan passed away in May 2010 leaving the Padatik family bereft but with a wonderful legacy that must be carried on, making all efforts to keep alive the spirit of exploration, encouragement & enthusiasm which he nurtured in all activities related to Theatre, Dance & other Art forms.

Keeping in mind Shyamanand's special attention to promoting and mentoring 'young talent', it is only appropriate to focus on programs with special emphasis on schemes for the youth.

On 4th December 2010, a book on Shyamanand Jalan will be released at Rabindra Sadan; this will be followed by excerpts of some plays directed by him, enacted by actors he trained;

There will also be an exhibition on Shyamanand's works at Gaganendra Shilpa Pradarshanshala (Calcutta Information center) from 3rd - 6th December 2010. This will be inaugurated by Shri Girish Karnad; Shri Shyam Benegal and Shri Kulbhushan Kharbanda are also expected to be present at these programs. These initatives are supported by Anamika Kala Sangam and Natya Shodh Sansthan.
