Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in a momentous address at a public rally in Amroha, Uttar Pradesh, celebrated the region’s cultural legacy by highlighting the iconic Dholak, a traditional musical instrument deeply entrenched in the local heritage.
“I am delighted to be associated with Amroha’s Dholak, a symbol of our rich cultural heritage. Its rhythmic beats resonate not just locally, but across the globe,” expressed Prime Minister Modi, acknowledging the profound significance of the Dholak in the fabric of Amroha’s identity.
Prime Minister Modi commended the proactive efforts of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and the BJP government for securing a prestigious Geographical Indication (GI) tag for the Amroha Dholak. The GI tag serves as a hallmark of authenticity and heritage, elevating the instrument’s status and global recognition.
The conferment of the GI tag not only safeguards the cultural heritage of Amroha but also provides a significant boost to local artisans, offering them a platform to showcase their craftsmanship on the international stage. This recognition is poised to stimulate economic growth and create new avenues for employment in the region.
The Prime Minister’s tribute to Amroha’s Dholak tradition resonated deeply with the assembled crowd, eliciting fervent applause and a sense of pride among the local community. His endorsement underscores the government’s unwavering commitment to preserving and promoting India’s diverse cultural heritage.
This event marks a historic milestone in the promotion of India’s cultural vibrancy and the government’s dedication to nurturing indigenous arts and traditions.
