Ashoknagar Antaheen Kalakhetra, spearheaded by the visionary Reba Chowdhury, has been an embodiment of artistic excellence since its inception. With an unwavering desire to pay homage to her legacy, the institution initiated the ‘Reba Chowdhury Smarok Sommanona o Baktrita’ in 2019, a commemorative tribute presented annually on the 16th of October, marking the anniversary of her passing.

This heartfelt endeavor embarked on its journey in 2019 and, by 2022, had bestowed its honors upon individuals who have made exceptional contributions to various fields. The 2022 honorees included MLA Narayan Goswami for his commendable social work, Subhaprasanna Bhattacharjee for his outstanding achievements in painting, and Prabir Guha and Dr. Dipankar Sen for their remarkable contributions to the world of theater. In addition, Ellora Natya Patrika, a theater journal, was also recognized. The commemorative day was further enriched by a captivating performance of the Ulka script, directed by Pritha Chowdhury. This annual tribute not only honors Reba Chowdhury’s memory but also celebrates the diverse realms of creativity she held dear.
