Bhubaneswar: Two days after making Odia movie DAMaN free from tax, the Odisha government has planned a special screening of the blockbuster feature film at the Lok Seva Bhavan on Sunday for the officers.
Keeping in view its social impact, the Culture Department has arranged its screening at the Secretariat at 5pm today. Officers above the rank of joint secretaries will get an opportunity to watch the movie.
Odia Language Literature & Culture Department has informed all other departments regarding the special show of the movie.
Satyabrata Sahu, Additional Chief Secretary, Odia Language Literature & Culture Department, said that the flick is inspiring all the officers and workers of health department in the field of people’s service, which prompted the government to organise a special screening at the convention hall of Lok Seva Bhavan.
The government had declared the film as tax free two days ago.
The Chief Minister’s Office in a release on Friday said that the DAMaN movie is receiving a massive response from people. The film is based on the Odisha government’s Malaria prevention programme in tribal-based Malkangiri district.
DAMaN stands for ‘Durgama Anchala re Malaria Nirakarana’ (Eradication of malaria in remote area). The movie shows the efforts of a young doctor who set an example of humanity during his service on the large canvas.
The movie will inspire the Health Department and stream positivity and strengthen government employees to work towards public interest and welfare in the remote areas.
The movie starring prominent Odia actors Babushaan and Dipanwit Dashmohapatra in the lead roles has received a huge response from the audience.
