The Mahanty's Other Initiatives
Rupa Mahanty & Niroop Mahanty signed a MOU with JEM Foundation for construction of Kudy Mahanty Auditorium in premises of Jusco School, Kadma, on Friday Feb 17, 2017.
This beautiful auditorium was built and keys were handed over to Chairperson of JEM Foundation and Jusco MD Mr. Tarun Daga and Mrs. Ruchi Narendran on Thursday October 10th, 2019.
This Auditorium has world class standards equipped with state of the art facilities and a seating capacity of 300, built in the loving memory of Kudy Mahanty, daughter of Rupa Mahanty & Niroop Mahanty and it enables hundreds of children in Jamshedpur many of who did not have the facility in their own schools to showcase their talent in past.
With the thought of "Don't give to get rather give to inspire others to give", Mrs Rupa Mahanty spoke about how children in many schools display their flair/talent in open air, under the scorching sun or maybe just under a tin shed.
Kudy Mahanty Auditorium will provide the opportune platform to the talent of many children to showcase their skills, flair and aptitude. This Auditorium is certainly going to help transform their confidence level to maybe soaring new heights.
Mrs Mahanty said that out of the 3 parts of anyone's life which is Learning, Earning and Returning, the part of returning is the most important and this is what inspires her and her husband to do what they do best, giving back to the community they dwell in.
The auditorium aims to fill the need for a state of the art facility primarily for school and corporate functions including reaching out to lesser privileged institutions that have no access to such a facility.
The auditorium which seats 300 has several notable features: it is fully air conditioned, has a controllable sound system, two greenrooms with attached toilets to name a few. The seating is staggered for proper viewing. The acoustical wall treatment and false ceiling assures excellent sound quality.
The other features include built up area of 835 sqm, 6m wide lobby, Stage - 10mx7.5m with proscenium width of 12m, Greenrooms ( 2 Nos ) and Washrooms ( For Male & Female - 2 Nos ) at the backstage, facilities like Ramp, Washroom etc for people with special needs, wheelchair accessibility, separate sound control room for Music System, FDA, etc, state of the art audio visual equipment and system, futuristic and ultra-modern fire hazard detection and suppression system, advanced technology on Safety and Security, dedicated parking area, architecturally designed congestion free emergency exits and scenic landscaping around and in front of the auditorium.
The inauguration and handing over function was attended by Kudy's 87 year old grandmother Mrs. Reba Mukherjee and family members of the Mahantys who travelled from all over the globe; amongst a house full of appreciative citizens of Jamshedpur and well-wishers from across the country..
After inaugurating the auditorium TV Narendran termed the Mahantys as a couple whose smiles brings sunshine in many lives and said there is no better way to remember their daughter.
