Jammu, Jan 6: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha inaugurated Amrit Yuva Kalotsav, a cultural festival organised by Sangeet Natak Akademi to mark 75 years of India’s independence.
The event featuring young artists from across the country in the field of performing art will showcase India’s art styles & traditions.
The Lt Governor said, the Amrit Kaal Khand is the opportune moment to build a powerful and self-reliant India by strengthening the cultural and social unity of the country. The onus to achieve this goal and ensuring the welfare of humanity rests on the shoulders of our youth, he added.
Underscoring the need to bring the young generation closer to the roots of art and cultural heritage, the Lt Governor said, Amrit Yuva Kalotsav is also an opportunity to look at our rich cultural legacy. India is the only country in the world which has created a balanced environment for science, art and spirituality to grow and blossom together, he observed.
Art is a living element of our tradition and its different forms will play an important role in building a self-reliant India. This festival is an opportunity to see the vastness of life’s values, noted the Lt Governor.

The cultural heart of India is filled with lyrics & ragas. Various art forms are not about technicalities but the flow of the heart, he observed.
