Indo-Asian News Service

New Delhi, Oct 8 (IANS) Noted singer Bhupen Hazarika will perform at a musical show here this month to raise funds for the building of a cultural and educational centre by the Assam Association, Delhi.

The association, a socio-cultural organisation of people hailing from Assam and now living in Delhi and its surrounding areas, began work on the project in 2000 but its completion has been delayed due to lack of funds.

The cultural and educational centre, named the Srimanta Sankardeva Bhavan, is located at Qutub Institutional Area.

A statement from the Assam Association said the Dada Saheb Phalke Award winner would be the star artiste at the fund raising musical show to be held at Siri Fort Auditorium here Oct 16.

The Assam Association, formed in 1947, has been actively involved in organising various socio-cultural events and festivals over the years.
