Since its inception, A.L.P.A.N.A. has been working ardently through SAMBHAV, a platform for Divyangjan to showcase their talent and prove to the world that their efforts are not hindered by any kind of obstacles. Guru Alpana Nayak is a professional Odissi Dancer and has contributed immensely to the spread of lndian culture in India and abroad through her dance. I came to know that she is among very few exponents of Odissi dance who train Divyangjan in Indian classical and folk dance forms for their holistic development in society. I extend my warm greetings and felicitations to all those associated with the Association for Learning Performing Arts and Normative Action and wish SAMBHAV 2023 all success.”
SAMBHAV 2023, the eighteenth SAMBHAV in a row was planned to celebrate and show case holistic development and inclusive growth of Divyang artists from India and abroad and to be a unique demonstration of the will to succeed irrespective of the region and culture they belong to. It is an attempt to establish global synergy for serving the humankind.
