3) “India is a vibrant, flourishing culture that has thrived for thousands of years. Our ancestors entrusted us with a rich treasure - be it language or literature, values or festivals, art or architecture, culture or cuisine,” the PM remarked.
4) He said the world looks up to India to provide holistic solutions and leadership in many different domains, from health to environment and is giving unprecedented attention to the Indian perspective on a range of matters including its art forms. “To impart greater momentum to this development, institutions that showcase and popularise our culture are crucial,” he noted.
5) He also said “the nation's Amrit Kaal is an opportunity to draw inspiration from our resplendent heritage and build an inclusive, strong and self-reliant India which celebrates its culture,” and wished that this cultural centre yields results in showcasing the value and place of art and culture in Indian society.
