Jitendra Singh calls for preservation of legacy on ‘Dogra Diwas’

JAMMU: Union minister Jitendra Singh has emphasised that drawing strength from the rich Dogra legacy, it is now time to make a significant mark on the global stage where India has already become an integral part since 2014 under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Addressing a programme organised here to observe ‘Dogra Diwas’ commemorating the inclusion of Dogri language in the Constitution and the ‘Dogra Legacy Excellence Awards 2024’, Singh highlighted the rich Dogra legacy.

Even after Partition, the region produced internationally acclaimed icons such as renowned space scientist and ISRO founder Satish Dhawan, celebrated singer Malika Pukhraj, and legendary musicians Shiv Kumar Sharma and Ustad Allah Rakha, Singh said.
