All India Radio will hold National Symposium of Poets, an annual event for 2015 in Bhubaneswar.
This is an annual event of the public service broadcaster and this year it is being hosted by Akashvani, Cuttack, in Bhubaneswar on January 15, a statement released here said.
The event happens every year in January and the recording of the programme is broadcast on the eve of Republic Day at 10 pm on January 25.
There will be simultaneous broadcast in all 22 recognised Indian languages by the regional stations of All India Radio bringing to the audience a blend of regional sensibilities through trans-creation in the common link language ie Hindi, the statement said.
"The poems of different poets will be translated for the benefit of listeners from different parts by other poets who know the particular regional language," an official said explaining the concept.
"This unique concept aimed at congregating eminent poetic luminaries from different parts of the country has been eliciting kudos from across the country by men of letters and it has been unequivocally construed as a tribute to the diverse lingual and cultural spectrum of Indian sub-continent," the official statement released today said.
