In an extraordinary confluence of compassion and culture, Jagannath Gupta Institute of Medical Sciences & Hospital (JIMSH) hosted Pujo Parikrama – Ananda Abdare Uma Darshan 2025 on 26th September, Chaturthi of Durga Pujo. This landmark initiative, curated with both reverence and purpose, was centered around a singular and profound mission – to embrace and empower the children through a promise of world-class medical care and cultural nourishment.
The event radiated with festive devotion and social commitment, as the hospital announced a spectrum healthcare support for these children, drawn from some of society’s most underserved communities. More than a gesture, this commitment marks the beginning of a transformative journey – one that prioritizes health, dignity, and the preservation of cultural identity.
“True service transcends treatment — it uplifts lives,” said Mr. Krishna Kumar Gupta, Chairman of JIMSH. “This Durga Pujo, Maa’s blessings came in the form of purpose – to care for those who often go unseen. These children are now a permanent part of the JIMSH family. Their well-being, their future – we consider it a sacred responsibility.”
Intertwining the soulful ethos of Bengal’s Baul heritage with its healthcare mission, JIMSH invited children and guests to witness the living philosophy of Baul music – a tradition rooted in simplicity, harmony, and spiritual truth. Through performances and interactive sessions, the children were offered more than a cultural experience, they were offered a sense of identity and belonging. As part of this resonant occasion, JIMSH quietly and respectfully honored Baul Samrat – Purna Das Baul, one of the most venerated voices of the Baul tradition, with the Lifetime Achievement Award – a token of deep gratitude for decades of artistic brilliance and philosophical depth that have transcended borders and generations. In a gesture of enduring respect, JIMSH also extended to the maestro an assurance of health and medical care, further solidifying its commitment to those who shape the cultural soul of the nation.
