Congress President Sonia Gandhi along with Prime minister Manmohan Singh inaugurated the silver jubilee celebrations of the seven Zonal Cultural Centres (ZCCs) of India in a traditional manner by beating a drum at Panchkula. A choreographed amalgamation of different cultural streams of India titled “Mati ke rang” was presented in a colourful manner.
“The art forms in our country have been passing through a lot of transformation as well as challenges. The Zonal Centres should realize this fact and should own up the responsibility to maintain the cultural diversity of our country. Though we are facing challenges we should preserve our culture and its diversity” said Sonia Gandhi. “Apart from cities, we also should take these art forms to the remote areas and also should make the people aware about the rich culture of our country as well as the importance to maintain and protect various art forms,” added the Congress President.
“There a lot of talents emerging in our country. The cultural events like this give opportunity to them to express their potential and perform their art forms” said Sonia Gandhi.
“The artists who are engaged in performing our traditional art forms should be able to earn their livelihood. Many of our artists are not able to support their family by just performing the traditional art forms. As a result the art forms also suffer along with the artists. We should consider and address this issue also. The Zonal centres should find out strategies to protect the artists as well as to preserve the traditional art forms” asserted the Congress President.
Sonia Gandhi also congratulated the artists and the organizers for conducting such a successful and colourful event. She also extended heartiest Vaisakhi greetings to the gathering.
