Sashastra Seema Bal Wives Welfare Association, Sandiksha conducted a unique

programme of Musical Competition “ Voice of the Frontiers”. The competition aimed to

showcase & encourage the talent from remote border areas of the Guwahati & Tezpur

Frontiers bringing them on one platform through musical interface. The initiative was

enrolled in September/October-2015 when our selectors from Frontier Jazz Band

commenced selection out of scores that into the BOP’s in selection cum elimination

round. The next phase was held in December/January where the same process was

repeated at Sector Level.

The idea of roping-in music in the form of a singing competition to bring people of

far-flung areas of culturally so rich Assam and Arunachal Pradesh on a common platform

has emerged as multifariously beneficial.

After months of preparation and auditions process at various locations, the musical

festival kick started with the arrival of participants at Shilpgram, Guwahati on 23rd

June-

2016. The moment participants started arriving to their accommodation venue,

atmosphere bloomed with the art, energy and emotions for next eleven days to come.

Different feelings but one thing in common and that is the will to win the title of “Voice

of the Frontiers” here. Since then, the buildings of accommodation have continuously

echoed with the chords of guitars being played and vocals being rehearsed till the end. It

seemed as if everybody wanted to be the champion, their dedication and whole hearted

participation was a litmus test for us to prove if we were on right track.

The most beautiful part of this event was to see the bond of love developing

amongst the participants and our team, they raised above the bindings of cast, creed,

culture and region. They lived together, rehearsed together, competed together and even

looked similar in the Sandiksha provided apparels.

Despite of our expert’s continue guidance and mentoring, we could sense the high

pressure of performance and fear of being eliminated in the hearts & minds of all

participants. For them, it had no more remained just a competition, it was a dream, they

were living 24x7 for those eleven days. The waves of emotions kept trailing with each of

their performances and its results.

The finale of the Voice of the Frontiers was held on 03rd

July, 2016 at Madhav

Deva Auditorium, Kalakshetra, Guwahati. The Chief Guest of the programme was Sh.

Mukesh Sahay, IPS, DGP, Assam Police. He along with Smt. Sangeeta, President of

Assam Police Wives Welfare Association were welcomed by the Smt. Ameeta Negi,

Regional President Sandiksha & Members as well as by the Inspector General, SSB,

Frontier Guwahati.

It was an overwhelming retreat to mind, body & soul of all present there to see the

two participants from Blind School who won the trophies, their emotions, their attempts

to touch the feel the trophies repeatedly, their chocked throats when their names were

announced and the auditorium was shaken with the loudest claps in support and applause.

They are our heroes and the current talk of the town who inspire many a people of society

today.

Finally, on the evening of 03rd

July-2016, after the grand finale when the curtains

of our singing competition “Voice of the Frontiers” came down to close, the winners

were overwhelmed and also the losers were bestowed with the Mementoes in each
