An interactive session on "Prevention of Cervical Cancer and the Role of HPV Vaccines" was organised for all employees and students of the Institute. The session aimed to raise awareness about cervical cancer, its causes, and the preventive role of vaccination.
The Institute's Consultant Doctor, Dr. Rachna Jain, led the session, along with guest speakers from IGIMS—Dr. Ritu Singh, Associate Professor, Department of Critical Care Medicine, and Dr. Shivani Sinha, Lady Medical Officer, Department of Community Medicine.

Together, they provided insightful discussions on the human papillomavirus (HPV)—the primary cause of cervical cancer—its transmission and how timely vaccination can significantly reduce the risk. The speakers emphasized the efficacy and safety of HPV vaccines and addressed common myths and misconceptions associated with immunisation, encouraging informed and proactive healthcare decisions.

"The husband returns a decade and a half after learning that his son is growing up at home. He had deserted his wife and home in search of work in Kolkata. The wife is elated to see him back. But then, the billion-dollar question that is usually held as a sword to subdue women - whose child is it? is tossed. Two men, the husband and an apparent lover, lay their claims on the boy. Neither has a love for him; both see additional hands of labour. The Sarpanch enters the dispute. During the inquisition, the Sarpanch swings like a pendulum between the two men. It is subtly revealed that the lover is the father.

Both men bribe the Sarpanch to rule in their favour. He finally puts them to the test. Neither wins as the mother thwarts the side that is winning. She would not let the boy go to either. Finally, the Sarpanch proposes that the boy be cut into three pieces and divided among the three.

While the two men and the Sarpanch are working out the modalities, the mother, having delivered a soliloquy about the travails she endured in bringing the child to life, lapses into a trance with extreme sorrow. She is woken up by the Sarpanch, who asks her to pay her fees to the butcher who would cut the boy. She gets up with a start, grabs the boy, and puts her body in front of the butcher.

The sight of her reaction in contrast to that of the two men forces the dawning of wisdom on the Sarpanch. The men are driven away and the boy is delivered to the mother".

Enacted as a musical play in Bhojpuri. The storyline is narrated here by a spectator who has, at best, a fleeting familiarity with the language. Nuances are lost on him, so are some of the critical details. This is especially of those parts in which characters were taking recourse to poetic soliloquy in expressing themselves. Despite that, the gestalt of the visuals created a penetratingly memorable experience. Hidden in the story is a commentary on the contemporary society of Bhojpur in the early decades of the 20th century, of migration of labour, of broken homes, and of the perennial interrogation of paternity of a child holding down women to the altar!

The play was directed by Dr Jainendra Dost @JainendraDost with artists of Bhikhari Thakur Repository Training and Research Centre performing the roles. The total effect was mesmerizing for the audience.

Hosted as a part of the 11th Foundation Day Symposium of the Development Management Institute, Patna.

Some of the poignant moments from the play captured on amateur camera.
