Ananya DasMahapatra was born and brought up in the little village of Mohanpur in West Medinipur, West Bengal. Having started from such a modest background, she has transformed into an icon not just as an artist but as an educator also. She did her MA in English and continued with other magnificent courses. She was well-trained in Rabindra Sangeet and was a master in Rabindra Nritya and Bharatnatyam. She did courses on Abacus, makeup, and school teacher training. Her journey has reflected that she is learning and giving herself a good life for self-growth, and at every step, a new layer is added to her passion.
After garnering years of professional experience, Ananya felt a deep desire to empower people from the humblest of backgrounds to reach for their dreams. Facilitated by a sense of respect for education and a commitment to uplift others, she established her own educational company, Ana Knowledge Arena Private Limited; this venture aims to provide tools and the guidance that people need to unlock their potential, irrespective of where they start from in life.
Ananya’s passion for the arts brought her to the Bangladesh International Dance Festival last time, which invited her to perform. To share a bit of one’s potential with the rest of the world in a global arena has been one of life’s biggest achievements for some, and in this scenario, it became a much-sought accomplishment. There has also resurfaced an urge in her for the establishment of her school, where, under a supportive ambiance, students cut across all barriers can develop musical, dance, etc.
Her achievement in the field of arts is long known, through which, she achieved the Shrestha Bangali Award, Natya Mohini Award for Dance, Sampurna Samman, and the great Best Dancer Award Bangladesh bestowed on her. The reflection in all awards would be devotion, hard work, and talent. This is one of the most beautiful journeys that a person can do when he or she sets determination and passion for the world. Her story motivates others to believe in dreams and education, as this is not too big if pursued with a dedicated heart. She is an extraordinary artist but also a great visionary leader who inspires other people to pursue learning and growth.
