A Grand Theatrical Celebration in Kolkata

The highly anticipated drama Ponni, written and directed by the esteemed Shri Kavalam Nandakumar, will be staged on March 23, 2025, at Behala Sarat Sadan, Kolkata. The performance is part of the 69th Anniversary Celebrations of the Kerala Catholic Social Service Center and is expected to be a landmark event in the city’s cultural calendar.

With an impressive cast that includes Vijayan Vellinezhi (President, AIMA West Bengal), Sreethu MS, Nithin Balakrishnan, P Suresh Kumar, Sreeja Krishnadas, Airah Shamim, Anagha Prasad, Ravi Nair, and Ginesh V Reji, the play promises to be a captivating experience for theater enthusiasts. The drama’s music is composed by Sujit Kumar Nair, with lighting designed by Hari Nambiar, ensuring a visually and aurally immersive performance.

The Visionary Behind Ponni

Shri Kavalam Nandakumar, a multi-talented artist hailing from Kavalam, Kuttanad, is known for his excellence in marketing, theater, and social work. With a vast theatrical repertoire, he has acted in over 50 Malayalam plays, short films, and even a Bengali film. His directorial ventures span 25 plays, earning critical acclaim and solidifying his place as a leading figure in Indian theater.

Beyond his performances, Shri Nandakumar has played a pivotal role in organizing major cultural events. Notably, he coordinated the KSNA Cultural Festival in Kolkata in 2006 and has had his work featured at prestigious festivals like the Soorya National Theatre Festival (2015) and the National Theatre Festival of Vriksh in Delhi (2019).

As the National Vice President of AIMA (Eastern Region), Shri Nandakumar has been instrumental in expanding the organization’s reach by establishing state units in eight East/Northeastern states. His efforts in theater and cultural activism have earned him numerous accolades, including Best Actor Awards from Malayalee organizations and multilingual drama competitions. He was honored with the KSNA Best Actor Award at the first All India Drama Competition in 2013.

His leadership extends beyond theater. He has held key positions in multiple organizations, including:

Shri Nandakumar currently resides in Kolkata with his wife Jayasree, while his children, Nitish and Ashwathi, are based in Muscat and Bangalore, respectively.

Ponni: A Hard-Hitting Micro DramaShri Kavalam Nandakumar’s micro-drama

Ponni was featured at the National Micro Drama Festival in Delhi on February 2, 2025. The play struck a chord with audiences by shedding light on societal neglect, gender inequality, and the harsh conditions faced by women in rural India.

A Story of Love, Struggle, and Despair

Ponni narrates the poignant tale of Ponni and Selvan, a couple who, despite their deep love, face an immense challenge shortly after marriage due to the lack of basic sanitation facilities in their village. The absence of toilets in Selvan’s household becomes a source of tension, impacting their relationship and exposing the stark realities of many rural Indian households.

The Breaking Point: A Cry for Change

Ponni, unable to endure the humiliation of open defecation, decides to leave, but her departure leads to a tragic climax. Selvan, unable to cope with his helplessness, spirals into despair. The drama reaches its emotional peak when Ponni returns to find Selvan has taken his own life. The play’s tragic conclusion serves as a stark commentary on the systemic neglect and social apathy that continue to oppress women in India.

Through its powerful storytelling, Ponni highlights the urgent need for improved sanitation and infrastructure, particularly for women, and calls for greater awareness and policy changes to tackle these challenges.

National Micro Drama Festival 2025:

A Tribute to Omcheri NN PillaiThe National Micro Drama Festival 2025, held at LTG Auditorium in Delhi, was a resounding success, celebrating the power of short-format theater. Organized by Vriksh the Theatre in collaboration with the National School of Drama, the event paid a heartfelt tribute to Omcheri NN Pillai, a legend in Indian theater.

Omcheri NN Pillai, hailed as the ‘Godfather of Vriksh the Theatre’, made significant contributions to Malayalam drama and played a crucial role in shaping the National Micro Drama Festival. His 51 one-act plays and novels have left an indelible mark on Indian theater. The festival honored his legacy by showcasing thought-provoking performances that tackled socio-political struggles, gender inequality, and cultural traditions.

The Transformative Power of Micro Dramas

The 2025 edition of the festival underscored the power of micro dramas—performances that deliver impactful messages in under ten minutes. This year’s festival featured diverse themes, from religious dogmatism to political struggles, demonstrating how short-format plays can spark deep introspection and social dialogue.

Guided by Dr. Abhilash Pillai, the Programme Director, the festival successfully blended traditional and contemporary theater, further enriching the cultural landscape of Indian drama.

A Celebration of Artistic Expression and Social Change

Through events like Ponni and the National Micro Drama Festival, Indian theater continues to serve as a powerful medium for storytelling, advocacy, and social transformation. Shri Kavalam Nandakumar’s contributions, both as a playwright and cultural leader, have reinforced the importance of art in raising awareness and inspiring change.

As Kolkata prepares for the staging of Ponni on March 23, 2025, anticipation runs high for what promises to be a compelling theatrical experience. The play will not only entertain but also ignite crucial conversations about societal issues, leaving an enduring impact on audiences.

Theater remains a mirror to society, and with visionaries like Shri Kavalam Nandakumar, it continues to evolve as a force for enlightenment, empathy, and progress.

Smt. Deepthi Nair: Transforming Lives Through Women Empowerment, Healthcare, and Education

Smt. Deepthi Nair, the National Vice Chairperson of the Women’s Wing and Convener of AIMA Uttar Pradesh State Unit, continues to make remarkable strides in her mission to uplift marginalized communities, particularly women, children, and the differently-abled. Her latest initiatives, undertaken in March 2025, highlight her dedication to empowering self-help groups, supporting healthcare needs, and fostering educational opportunities for the underprivileged.

Empowering Women Through Self-Help Groups in Pondicherry

On 9th March 2025, Deepthi Nair took a significant step toward empowering women by supporting a self-help group in Pondicherry. Recognizing the need for sustainable employment, she distributed 30 Jute Sewing Machines along with essential stitching accessories to the members of a local women’s collective engaged in producing eco-friendly jute bags.

This self-help group consists of 60 women, who rely on crafting and selling jute bags for their livelihood. With the new machines and accessories, they can increase their production, improve the quality of their products, and expand their market reach. This initiative not only provides financial stability but also fosters a sense of independence and confidence among these hardworking women.

Deepthi Nair’s intervention aims to break the cycle of poverty by enabling these women to become financially self-reliant. The initiative aligns with her long-term vision of strengthening grassroots entrepreneurship and promoting environmentally friendly business practices.

Restoring the Gift of Hearing in Noida

Following her impactful work in Pondicherry, on 12th March 2025, Deepthi Nair extended her humanitarian outreach to Noida, where she facilitated the distribution of 100 hearing aids to individuals facing hearing disabilities. For many of the beneficiaries, this was their first opportunity to hear clearly, significantly improving their ability to communicate and engage with society.

Hearing impairments often lead to social isolation and reduced opportunities in education and employment. By providing these essential devices, Deepthi Nair has empowered individuals with the ability to lead more fulfilling lives. The recipients, who had long struggled with their condition due to financial constraints, expressed overwhelming gratitude for this life-changing support.

This initiative not only restores sound to those in need but also highlights the importance of accessible healthcare solutions. Her efforts contribute to the larger goal of ensuring that no one is left behind due to financial incapacity.

Supporting Underprivileged Children’s Education

Beyond her work in women empowerment and healthcare support, Deepthi Nair has also taken on the responsibility of helping underprivileged children access education by covering their school fees. Recognizing that education is a fundamental right and a powerful tool for breaking the cycle of poverty, she has personally ensured that several children receive the necessary financial assistance to continue their studies.

By supporting school fees and providing additional learning resources, she is giving these children a fighting chance at a brighter future. Many of the children she assists come from families struggling with economic hardships, and without her support, their education would have been at risk.

Her commitment to educational upliftment is a testament to her vision of fostering a society where every child, regardless of their background, has equal access to knowledge and opportunities.

A Legacy of Compassion and Service

Smt. Deepthi Nair’s dedication to social welfare and community service continues to inspire many. Her work in women empowerment, disability support, and education demonstrates her holistic approach to social development.

Her efforts go beyond financial assistance—she is actively involved in ensuring long-term sustainability for the beneficiaries of her initiatives. By equipping women with skills, providing healthcare solutions, and supporting children’s education, she is creating a ripple effect of positive change in society.

Through her unwavering dedication, Deepthi Nair has emerged as a true champion of humanitarian causes, proving that one person’s commitment to service can transform countless lives. Her vision and leadership continue to set an example for others to follow, paving the way for a more inclusive and empowered future.

Sponsorship of School Furniture at Government Lower Primary School, Bisrak, GB Nagar (U.P.) by Guru Dharma Pracharana Trust (GDPT), GB Nagar, a Member Organization of AIMA

Sponsorship of School Furniture at Government Lower Primary School, Bisrak, GB Nagar (U.P.) by Guru Dharma Pracharana Trust (GDPT), GB Nagar, a Member Organization of AIMA

On Saturday, 8th March 2025, at 11:00 AM, a significant event took place at the Government Lower Primary School, Bisrak, in the Greater Noida District (GB Nagar), Uttar Pradesh. The school, which serves the educational needs of the local community, was the recipient of a generous sponsorship aimed at upgrading its infrastructure. The sponsorship of school furniture was made possible by the Guru Dharma Pracharana Trust (GDPT), GB Nagar, a prominent member organization of the All India Malayalee Association (AIMA). This initiative not only addressed the immediate needs of the school but also highlighted the ongoing efforts of GDPT in contributing to the development of education in the region.

The Key Individuals Behind the Sponsorship

The event was attended by a distinguished group of individuals, each playing a vital role in ensuring the success of this initiative:

  • Mr. N. N. Shaji, Chairman of GDPT, led the efforts to make this sponsorship possible. His commitment to the betterment of education in the region was evident through his tireless work and vision.
  • Mr. Pathiyoor Ravi, Vice Chairman of GDPT, also played an essential role in facilitating the sponsorship, ensuring the process was seamless and the resources were allocated effectively.
  • Mr. B. Viswambharan, Treasurer of GDPT, contributed his financial expertise, ensuring the funds were managed effectively and the sponsorship was carried out without delay.

Other key trustees of GDPT were present, working behind the scenes to make sure the event was well-organized and executed smoothly.

Special Guests and Invitees

The event also welcomed several special guests, including:

  • Shri P. Jayaraj Nair, Additional General Secretary of AIMA, who graced the occasion with his presence. His association with AIMA and his contributions to community development have been invaluable in promoting educational initiatives.
  • The Sarpanch of Bisrak, along with other members of the Grama Panchayat, were also present to support the initiative and speak about the positive impact it would have on the local community.
  • Other well-wishers and community members who have always supported GDPT’s endeavors were also in attendance, making the event truly special.

The Importance of School Furniture Sponsorship

The sponsorship of school furniture is an initiative that goes beyond simply providing desks and chairs. For many schools, especially in rural areas, outdated or insufficient furniture can hinder the learning process. In many cases, students are forced to sit on the floor or use broken and uncomfortable desks. The new furniture provided to the Government Lower Primary School in Bisrak will not only create a more comfortable and conducive learning environment for students but will also encourage better attendance, participation, and academic performance.

The sponsorship is a reminder of the importance of investing in education infrastructure, especially in rural areas. For the students at Bisrak, having access to proper furniture will foster a sense of dignity and respect, motivating them to engage more actively in their studies.

The Role of GDPT and AIMA

The Guru Dharma Pracharana Trust (GDPT), a philanthropic organization, has been at the forefront of supporting education, healthcare, and community development in GB Nagar. As a member of AIMA (All India Malayalee Association), GDPT is committed to contributing to society through various initiatives, and this sponsorship of school furniture is just one example of their ongoing work.

AIMA’s collaboration with GDPT demonstrates a strong partnership between the corporate and non-profit sectors to address pressing community issues such as education. GDPT’s proactive approach to identifying and fulfilling the needs of local schools and communities showcases the critical role that organizations like GDPT play in the development of society.

A Boost to Local Education

This sponsorship will have a lasting impact on the Government Lower Primary School in Bisrak, not only by improving the physical learning environment but also by providing an example of how community-driven efforts can contribute to the educational growth of future generations.

The presence of local leaders, such as the Sarpanch of Bisrak and the members of the Grama Panchayat, is crucial to the success of such initiatives. Their support ensures that the local community embraces and values these efforts, reinforcing the idea that everyone has a role to play in improving education.

Future Prospects and Continued Efforts

This event is a testament to the collective power of individuals, organizations, and local communities working together for the betterment of education.
