To preserve the rich tradition of Bhawaiya music, an initiative has been taken to construct a modern multi-story building for the Bangladesh Bhawaiya Parishad in Ulipur, Kurigram, at a cost of about 1 crore taka. Established in 1993, the organization has long been operating from a tin-shed house, which has produced nearly 3,000 renowned Bhawaiya artists.
On Friday afternoon, the foundation stone of the building was officially laid on 5 decimals of land donated by local social worker Gelap Hossain beside the Kurigram-Chilmari road. The initiative is being implemented with the assistance of the local administration, prominent individuals, and the Bashundhara Group, alongside a discussion meeting held to mark the occasion.
Chaired by Parishad President Advocate Prodip Kumar Roy, the event featured welcome remarks by General Secretary Bhupati Bhushan Barma and speeches from other guests. Speakers expressed hope that the construction of this modern building will further accelerate Bhawaiya practice and provide new generation artists with a better environment for music practice.
