The recipients of the 12th edition included   social activist Kanta Chakraborty, Entrepreneur Sharmeela Chatterjee, mining industry entrepreneur Nandini Chakravorty, creative designer and visual artist Ekta Bhattacharjee, voice artist and elocutionist Madhumanti Maitra and performing artist and choreographer Tanusree Shankar.

The program was also attended by past Swayam Siddha recipients like Agnimitra Paul, Nandita Palchowdhury,Sanchita Bhattacharya and Jolly Chanda.

The musical program was graced by santoor legend Tarun Bhattacharya, percussion guru Pandit Prodyut Mukherjee and guitarist Vikramjit Tuki Banerjee.

They presented Raga Ganga  on stage followed by an exciting musical conversation.
