About

Geet Vitan Kala Kendra

जहाँ सुरों में संस्कृति बसती है... और हर कला अपनी पहचान पाती है।

At Geet Vitan Kala Kendra, music is more than sound, dance is more than movement, and art is more than expression—they are timeless traditions that connect generations.

Founded in 1993, Geet Vitan has spent over three decades preserving the cultural vision of Gurudev Rabindranath Tagore, nurturing artists with knowledge, discipline, creativity, and compassion.

Here, traditions are not preserved in books—they are lived through every note, every performance, and every learner who becomes part of the Geet Vitan family. Because art has the power to inspire hearts, preserve cultures, and shape lives.

Founder’s Vision

Founder Message

Late Shipra Bhowmik, a renowned exponent of Rabindra Sangeet in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh, is the founder and guiding force behind Geet Vitan Kala Kendra.

Born in Kolkata on 1 January 1962, her journey in music began at an early age. She received her initial training from her brother Late Shri Shanti Bhowmick and later continued her learning in Rabindra Sangeet from Dakshinee, Kolkata, one of the premier institutions dedicated to Tagore's music, under the guidance of renowned Gurus including Shri Santosh Sengupta, Kanika Bandopadhyay, Heena Sen, and Amal Nag.

She further completed her training in Rabindra Sangeet from Santiniketan and achieved Sangeet Visharad in Vocal Classical Music from Gandharva Mahavidyalaya, Mumbai. With a lifelong passion for music and cultural preservation, she established Geet Vitan Kala Kendra on 1 January 1993 in Bhilai, Chhattisgarh, with the vision of bringing the richness of Rabindra Culture and Indian Performing Arts to future generations.

Through her dedication, guidance, and artistic contribution, Geet Vitan has grown into a respected centre for music, dance, instrumental arts, and fine arts, inspiring countless students to pursue their creative journeys. Her contribution to the field of art and culture has been recognised through several honours, including the Nandanshree Award for Rabindra Sangeet (Kolkata), National Rabindra Sangeet Ratna Award (West Bengal), National Sangeet Bhushan Award (Odisha), Kala Shastri Award (Kolkata), Sangeet Acharya Award, and other recognitions for promoting performing arts and Rabindra Sangeet.
