Country’s tribal culture unique and rich: Governor
Bhopal: Inaugurating the 38th foundation day function of Indira Gandhi Manav Sangrahalay here today, Governor Shri Ram Naresh Yadav said that tribal culture of our country is most unique and richest among tribal cultures across the world. This culture gives a new direction to keep alive human civilization and efforts to reach it out to the nook and corner of the world are praiseworthy. On the occasion, the Governor felicitated 4 officers and employees for their contribution to art with shawls, mementos and coconuts. The Governor lit “Alvilaku” illuminated with 1001 lamps.
Governor Shri Yadav said that earlier, efforts were undertaken by the Central Government to lay down a cultural policy, but it could not be given a concrete shape. Shri Yadav said that the place earned by Manav Sangrahalay in the country and world is a matter of pride. The museum is an important tool for reaching out state’s identity of unity in diversity in the country and world. Message of Vashudhaiv Kutumbakam will spread out to the world from here.
Chairman of Lalit Kala Academy Shri K.K. Chaturvedi said that establishment of Manav Sangrahalay is the concretization of the culture based on Panchsheel policy. This is a museum where diverse concepts have been given concrete shape. Objective of establishing this museum is to help tribal arts survive. It servers as a bridge for developing human and natural resources.
Museum’s Director Shri Arun Kumar Shrivastava presented the annual report. Assistant Curator Shri Arun Kiro delivered the welcome address. Dr. R.M. Nayal proposed a vote of thanks. Distinguished citizens and artistes from all over the country were present on the occasion.
