Governor, La. Ganesan, on Sunday, graced the  “Young Talented Artists” Award Ceremony of the NEZCC at Shilpgram, Guwahati, informed a press release by the PRO Raj Bhavan.

Addressing the gathering, the Governor said that, the festival is of great importance for the fact that the biggest strength of the Nation lies in its rich  cultural heritage, and its significance, felt even higher, especially since it is being demonstrated in the North East Region. “In the rich cultural tapestry of our nation, the North East region holds a special place—known for its vibrant culture, diverse traditions, and, notably, its exceptional contributions to the arts. Folk dance, music, instruments, and theatre not only define who we are but also serve as the medium through which we communicate our stories, joys, struggles, and our dreams to the rest of the world,” Ganesan. Recognizing this significance, the Governor highlighted that the Ministry of Culture aims to nurture and promote these treasures by encouraging the young custodians of our cultural heritage. The Governor also stated that the  gathering is to celebrate 24 young talents who have shown exceptional skill in various performing arts.

Our aim should not only be to celebrate the past and present but to ensure a vibrant future for our arts and artists,” added Ganesan.
