PARAB-2024: Vedanta Supports Tribal And Folk Fest In Odisha’s Koraput

Appreciating Vedanta’s support, Mr. Gureswar Bhoi, Block Development Officer (BDO), Laxmipur said, “PARAB is an annual festival that promotes and preserves the rich culture of Odisha. I thank Vedanta for extending its support for grassroots cultural initiatives and encouraging the local community.”

This initiative also empowered the local artisans, self-help groups (SHGs) and the local students by offering them a platform to exhibit their talent and skills, fostering recognition and growth opportunities within the community.

Other impactful efforts by the company that are fostering local art and culture include supporting the world’s longest Sambalpuri theatre production in Sundargarh, community celebrations of World Tribal Day in Koraput, the Namayagnya celebrations, and the Bahuda Yatra in Jamkani.

Previously, the company has also felicitated Padma Shri awardee Jitendra Haripal for his contributions to Odia culture. Being a renowned Sambalpuri folk singer, Mr Haripal, who is well-known for his iconic songs ‘Rangabati’ and ‘Chhaeli’, has helped popularise Odia music.

Notably, Vedanta Aluminium believes that fostering the talent of local artists not only enhances cultural vibrancy but also preserves traditional art practices for generations to come.
