Ekspokon organises “Art for Life”.

Art for Life is a concept that emphasizes the therapeutic and transformative power of art, particularly for individuals who may not consider themselves professional or established artists. The idea behind an exhibition of “closet artists” is to showcase the creative talents of people who create art as a hobby or form of personal expression rather than as a primary vocation.

Such an exhibition could feature a diverse range of artworks, including paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs, mixed media pieces, and more. The focus would be on celebrating the creativity and individuality of each artist, regardless of their level of formal training or recognition within the art world.

The exhibition could serve multiple purposes:

Promoting Artistic Expression: By providing a platform for “closet artists” to exhibit their work, the exhibition encourages artistic expression and creativity among individuals who may not otherwise have the opportunity to showcase their talents.

 

Community Engagement: Hosting an exhibition of closet artists can help build a sense of community and belonging among participants and viewers alike. It creates a space where people can come together to appreciate art and connect with others who share similar interests.

Breaking Stereotypes: The exhibition challenges the stereotype that only professional or recognized artists can create meaningful or valuable artwork. By showcasing the diverse talents of closet artists, it demonstrates that creativity knows no bounds and can be found in people from all walks of life.

Therapeutic Benefits: Engaging in artistic activities has been shown to have various therapeutic benefits, including stress reduction, increased self-esteem, and improved overall well-being. For many closet artists, creating art serves as a form of self-expression and a means of coping with life’s challenges. An exhibition like “Art for Life” acknowledges and celebrates these therapeutic aspects of artmaking.

Supporting Local Talent: Hosting a community-based exhibition of closet artists provides support and recognition for local talent. It can help emerging artists gain exposure and confidence in their abilities, potentially leading to further opportunities for growth and development in their artistic practice.

In this extraordinary exhibition, we are honoured to present a remarkable collection of paintings contributed by doctors,school teachers,principals,lecturers,homemakers,Govt.officials,corporates many more .

Explore a diverse range of artistic styles, from serene landscapes to abstract expressions of emotions. These doctors,nurses,home-makers,corporates,teachers turned-artists bring a unique perspective to the canvas, showcasing the depth and breadth of their talents beyond the realm of their professional career.

Overall, an exhibition of closet artists under the banner of “Art for Life” celebrates the inherent value of artistic expression and its positive impact on individuals and communities alike. It invites viewers to appreciate art in all its forms and encourages everyone to embrace their creativity, regardless of their background or level of experience.

Fresh Surge in Kolkata Office Space Demand – At Record High Post Covid

Kolkata: Kolkata seems to witness a bigger and more impressive job market as strong indications are coming from the increased demand for office space. According to the report, office space demand in the state’s tech hub Salt Lake Sector 5 and New Town-Rajarhat is at its highest in the last 10 years. Even the central business district of Kolkata encompassing Esplanade – Dalhousie, Park Street is slated to get some of the posh commercial dwellings.

Incidentally, Kolkata’s demand for office space reached at 9-year high, with 1.4 million sqft leased last year. Last highest demand was recorded in 2019, when 1.3 million sqft was leased in Kolkata. Further, the demand for premium office space in Sector V and New Town has pushed up rents by 11% during the year, the highest growth in the country.

Speaking on this, Mr B.P.Singh Roy, COO of Keventer Realty said, “As the modern office undergoes a transformative journey, Keventer Realty recognizes the pivotal role of open-concept workspaces, remote collaboration, and employee well-being. Embracing change is essential in shaping a dynamic and efficient work environment. We believe that by fostering collaboration, prioritizing technology, and emphasizing well-being, we not only enhance productivity but also redefine the very essence of work itself.”

It may be noted that several companies, including Mindtree, Genpact, Capgemini and Concentrix, had taken up substantial space in the IT hubs in Kolkata in the past year. Experts cited that many companies are looking for ready-to-move commercial spaces and Kolkata’s affordable commercial real estate market is making it a choice to open offices in the IT hub of the city.

Elaborating on this, Mr Adarsh Bhagat, Director at Ginni Realty Projects Pvt Ltd said, “With the influx of businesses and employment opportunities the demand for residential and commercial spaces increases proportionately. Moreover, a commutable commercial space, world class amenities also enhance the working environment”.

Modi government will grant citizenship to all eligible refugees: Amit Shah

New Delhi,16 March 2024: Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation, and senior leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party Amit Shah, stated in an interview with the news agency ANI’s podcast on Thursday that, ‘The Modi government, ‘The Modi government will grant citizenship to all eligible refugees. CAA is a law to grant citizenship, not to take it away.’

 

Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP government had mentioned in its 2019 Lok Sabha election manifesto about implementing the CAA and under the skilled guidance of Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah, the CAA was implemented across the country before the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. It is evident from this that CAA is a matter of empathy for the BJP, not for political gain. From Rahul Gandhi to Owaisi and from Arvind Kejriwal to Mamata Banerjee, leaders of all opposition parties are engaging in the politics of lies. Instead of opposing Bangladeshi and Rohingya infiltrators, Arvind Kejriwal is spreading misconceptions against refugees for vote-bank politics. Mamata Banerjee should focus on preventing infiltration instead of opposing the CAA. Mamata Banerjee wants to sow hatred between Hindus and Muslims to appease her vote bank. With the BJP’s expanding influence that the day is not far when there will be a BJP government in West Bengal as well, and strict action will be taken against infiltration. Amit Shah’s clear message to those states claiming that CAA will not be implemented is, ‘Citizenship law is a matter for the central government, there is no basis for opposition by states.’

 

The people of the country have understood that the Citizenship Amendment Act is about giving rights to millions of refugees who came from Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Bangladesh before December 31, 2014, providing them relief from their suffering and ensuring justice for their three generations, which the Congress never did. It has also been evident since the implementation of this law that Modi-Shah has worked to end the 75-year-long suffering of refugees.

 

The Chanakya of Indian politics, who successfully brings every major decision to fruition, Amit Shah’s style indicates that neither the INDI Alliance is coming to power nor is the CAA going anywhere. It is worth noting that the doors to Indian citizenship has not been closed for any Muslim. In fact, opposing every decision of the Modi government has become a habit of the opposition, as seen in the surgical strike, air strike, abrogation of Article 370, abolishment of triple talaq, etc.

 

In order to decisively defeat the opposition in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the Chanakya of Indian politics has once again entered the field with the achievements of the Modi government. The opposition parties also know that when Shah enters the arena, the lotus blooms for sure. The ‘Amit Shah factor’ is sufficient to achieve victory in any election for the Bharatiya Janata Party. Based on the achievements of the past 10 years, the people of the country have once again made up their minds to make Narendra Modi the Prime Minister.

কলকাতা, ১৪ মার্চ, ২০২৪: ভারতে ক্রিকেট শুধুমাত্র একটি খেলা নয়, এটি একটি ধর্ম। বহুল প্রতীক্ষিত শারীরিক প্রতিবন্ধী ত্রিভুজাকার টি ২০ ট্রফি ২০২৪ শুরু হতে চলেছে ১৫ মার্চ ২০২৪- এ। আজ বৃহস্পতিবার আনুষ্ঠানিকভাবে ঘোষণা করা হল ডিফারলি অ্যাবলড ক্রিকেট কাউন্সিল অফ ইন্ডিয়া দ্বারা আয়োজিত হচ্ছে এই ট্রফি টুর্নামেন্ট। কলকাতার তাজ বেঙ্গলে ট্রফিটি উন্মোচন করা হয়।

Country has decided, ‘Ab Ki Baar, 400 Paar’: Union Home Minister Amit Shah

 

 

New Delhi, 13 March, 2024: Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah, during the ‘Social Media Warriors Meet’ and ‘Vijay Sankalp Sammelan’ in Telangana on Tuesday, appealed, “To make the state a part of the ongoing development journey across the country, the people of Telangana will work to ensure the victory of the lotus on more than 12 seats in the Lok Sabha elections. Seeing the achievements of the Modi government in the last 10 years, the entire country has decided that ‘Ab ki baar 400 paar, Ek baarphir Modi Sarkar’.”

It is common knowledge that BRS and Congress are influenced by the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM). In the recently concluded assembly elections in Telangana, the people of Telangana expressed their trust in Congress to reduce the influence of the Majlis. However, as soon as the Telangana Assembly started, Congress worked to make the Majlis leader the Pro-tem speaker. Due to the temptation of the vote bank, both Congress and BRS neither celebrate Hyderabad Liberation Day nor honour Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. The people of Telangana, along with the rest of the country, have seen that the goal of BRS, Congress, and AIMIM is to empower their own families. History testifies that after Jawaharlal Nehru in Congress, followed by Indira Gandhi, then Rajiv Gandhi, then Sonia Gandhi, and now Rahul Gandhi. Similarly, after KCR, there is KTR. The AIMIM party of Owaisi is also a dynastic party. All these parties aim to ensure the well-being of their own sons and daughters. Parties that only think about the well-being of their own families cannot do good for the youth, other backward classes, women, farmers, and Dalits of Telangana or the country.

After independence, for decades, Congress did not remove Triple Talaq due to fear of Owaisi and vote banks, but Prime Minister Narendra Modi removed Triple Talaq and worked to honour Muslim women. Congress is only giving the slogan of removing poverty for 4 generations, while during the Modi government, upliftment of the poor has happened. Whether it is the removal of Article 370, the construction of the grand Ram temple, or the implementation of CAA nationwide – in the past 10 years, the Modi government has fulfilled every promise.

As the 2024 Lok Sabha elections are approaching, the political parties’ election campaigns have intensified.In such a situation, senior leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party Amit Shah is all set to hoist the flag of the lotus and to make Narendra Modi the Prime Minister once again in 2024. Looking at the preparations of Indian politics’ Chanakya Amit Shah, his strategies, and his diligence towards the organization before any election, it is safe to assume that the result of the election will be in his favour. Amit Shah, with his strategies, has brought the BJP into a strong position in those states of the country where the BJP’s position was weak at one time. Like there is a ‘Modi magic’ in Indian politics, similarly, in any election, Amit Shah’s name is enough to gather votes. Based on the achievements of the Modi government and the promises fulfilled, it should be considered certain that this time it is 400 plus and Narendra Modi’s government is certain to make a strong comeback.

 

Identification of gap where cooperative societies are less across country will prove helpful in cooperatives’ expansion through National Database: Union Minister for Home and Cooperation Amit Shah

New Delhi, 10 March 2024: Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah inaugurated the National Database. Shah, who is associated with the cooperative movement, believes that’The identification of the gap where cooperative societies are less across the country will prove helpful in the expansion of cooperatives through the National Database.’

Today, with the skilled guidance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah, the worn-out cooperative societies have become vibrant. The country’s cooperative activities are now centralized and computerized. Now, cooperatives are being made multi-purpose across the country. Amit Shah, who practices the politics of ‘Antyodaya’ (upliftment of the last person), repeatedly state that by the year 2027, there will be one cooperative in every Panchayat in the country, is likely to be proven true. This is why the National Database has been created, which will help identify the gap in the number of cooperative societies across the country and assist in the expansion of cooperatives. Every piece of information about cooperatives will now be available with just one click through the National Database. A National Database, working as a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders, will act as a compass for the development of the cooperative sector. In fact, this database is the basis of India’s entire cooperative activities, created using cutting-edge technology. Through the database portal, small cooperative institutions can receive guidance for their expansion.The database has the potential to connect information from PACS to APEX, from village to city, from mandi to the global market, and from state to international databases. The solution to geographical imbalance, sectoral imbalance, community imbalance, and functional imbalance – all these issues have been finely addressed within this database using tools. Looking at the rise of the cooperative sector, it seems that Modi’s cooperation will bring prosperity, development through digital means, and achieve goals through the database. In the present times of Amrit Kaal, more than 8 lakh cooperatives are registered, and more than 30 crores citizens are connected to these societies.

After independence, there was a demand for the separate formation of the Ministry of Cooperation for decades, but no government paid attention to it. As a result, the condition of the cooperative sector continued to worsen. In 2021, Prime Minister Narendra Modi fulfilled the task of establishing a separate Ministry of Cooperation, and the command of it was handed over to Union Home Minister and veteran BJP leader Amit Shah. Since his early days, Shah, who has been associated with the cooperative sector, has not left any stone unturned in empowering cooperative societies in just a few years.

Modi Ji, who is engaged in building a new India, and Amit Shah, who has changed the direction and situation of Indian politics, have a nature to take courageous decisions and implement them to fruition. This is why the Ministry of Cooperation was established, and today the cooperative sector is also developing.

India emerged from Fragile Five to Top Five Economy under Modi ji’s leadership: Amit Shah

New Delhi , 08 March 2024: Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah addressed the annual investment summit – NXT10 of the India Global Forum in Mumbai on Wednesday. On this occasion, Shah clearly stated that ‘Under Modiji’s leadership, India has emerged from the Fragile Five to the Top Five Economy today.’

Every citizen of India knows that from 2004 to 2014, when the Sonia-Manmohan government was in power at the centre, the country’s economy was at the 11th position in the world. In the last 10 years, the government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi has worked to bring the country’s economy to the 5th position. It is certain that Modi ji will be successful in bringing the country’s economy to the third position in his third term. The condition of the country’s economy until 10 years before 2014 was deteriorating, investor confidence had eroded, but today, in the era of Amrit Kaal, the economy has become strong, and India’s self-confidence and self-reliance have also increased.

The world knows that under the leadership of visionary Modi and the guidance of Amit Shah, who practices the politics of ‘Antyodaya’ (upliftment of the last person), the central government has transformed from ‘inactive’ to ‘dynamic,’ India’s progress has shifted from ‘regressive’ to ‘progressive,’ and the economy has changed from ‘fragile’ to ‘top.’ India has now reached the Top Five Economy from the Fragile Five. The new India has emerged as a ‘Bright Spot’ from a ‘Dark Spot’ on the global map. The government of 10 years has taken more than 50 transformative decisions, including demonetization, GST, Jan Dhan, Triple Talaq, New Education Policy, CAA, Article 370 and 35A, Nari Shakti Vandan Adhiniyam, three new laws, construction of Ram Mandir, construction of new parliament building, construction of Kartarpur Corridor, control on North East, Kashmir and Left-wing Extremism, household electricity, gas, and water, free treatment up to ₹5 lakh, economic assistance to farmers, surgical strike, air strike, and many more decisions that have given India a new identity in the world.

Today, the Lok Sabha elections of 2024 are also approaching in the era of Amrit Kaal. With the achievements of the Modi government, the Chanakya of Indian politics has descended on the battlefieldfield once again to give a decisive defeat to the opposition in the electoral war. Based on the achievements of the past 10 years, the people of the country have once again decided to make Narendra Modi the Prime Minister. The opposition parties also know that when Shah enters the field, the Lotus surely blooms. In any election, the factor of the formidable leader Shah of the Bharatiya Janata Party is sufficient to achieve victory.

Today, in the era of Amritkal, the Lok Sabha elections of 2024 are also approaching. In this situation, with the achievements of the Modi government once again on the battlefield, the Chanakyas of Indian politics have descended into the field to give a decisive defeat to the opposition in the electoral war. Based on the achievements of the past 10 years, the people of the country have once again decided to make Narendra Modi the Prime Minister. The opposition parties also know that when Shah enters the field, the lotus surely blooms. In any election, the factor of the formidable leader Shah of the Bharatiya Janata Party is sufficient to achieve victory.”

Ghamandiya Gathbandhan’ is only for their own families, for the 130 crore citizens, it’s Modi Ji: Amit Shah

New Delhi: 06 March 2024: Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Amit Shah, while addressing the youth conference in Jalgaon, Maharashtra on Tuesday, made it clear that the truth of the ‘Ghamandiya Gathbandhan’ which is pretending to unite against Modi ji who is building a new India, is that whether the coalition which itself lacks democracy can establish democracy in the country. The alliance’s sole aim is that Sonia Gandhi wants to make Rahul Gandhi the Prime Minister, Sharad Pawar’s is to make his daughter the Chief Minister, Uddhav Thackeray’s son is to make Aditya Thackeray the Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee’s is to make her nephew the Chief Minister, and Stalin’s is to make his son the Chief Minister. It’s evident that nothing is left for the people of the country. In this scenario, it is clear for the future of youth and a developed nation, Narendra Modi is the choice.

 

Shah believes that the upcoming Lok Sabha election is for the bright future of the youth and the creation of a great India. Voting for the Bharatiya Janata Party means ensuring a bright future for the youth, building a great India, and making Modi Ji the Prime Minister for the third time.

 

Over the past 10 years, the Modi government has undertaken unprecedented initiatives for the youth, from space exploration to semiconductor technology, digital advancements to drone technology, AI to vaccines, and 5G to fintech. The journey, from making the country the third-largest economy to establishing a space station by 2035 and sending Indian astronauts to the moon by 2040, will be completed because it is the ‘Modi Guarantee’.

 

As the 2024 Lok Sabha elections approach, the election activities are also increasing. Shah is gearing up to convey the message of Modi’s leadership and the BJP’s victory once again. When Shah, Chanakya of Indian politics, prepares for elections, even the opposition becomes his admirers. After Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amit Shah is the only leader whose election rallies attract a crowd of lakhs. In the last 10 years, under the leadership of Modi ji and the able guidance of Amit Shah, the country has travelled an unprecedented journey of progress and prosperity.

 

The people have seen that during Sonia-Manmohan’s government, any nobodycould enter from Pakistan to spread terror. However, when Modi Ji became Prime Minister, Pakistan got a befitting reply within 10 days. In the last 10 years, the Modi-Shah duo has not only removed Article 370 to make Kashmir an integral part of India but also abolished Triple Talaq and provided 33% reservation for women in state and national assemblies, respecting women’s power. While Modi is launching Chandrayaan on the moon, Sonia is launching Rahul for the 20th time, and Rahul is failing every time.

 

From the Ram Temple in Ayodhya to the Kashi Vishwanath Corridor, ‘Nal se Jal’ (water for all), Ujjwala Gas Scheme, free ration for farmers, old-age pension scheme, ‘One Rank One Pension,’ COVID vaccine, and numerous welfare initiatives, it’s not wrong to say that in 2024, under Modi’s leadership, the victory of the patriotic Bharatiya Janata Party is certain.
