Gurugram DC Nishant Kumar Yadav said the initiative has been started with the aim of creating awareness among students about Indian classical music, classical dance, folk music and other art forms.

“Indian culture is one of the richest cultures in the world and different genres cater to the diverse interests and preferences of people across all age groups. Whether it’s literature, music, movies, sports, hobbies, or any other form of entertainment, there’s something for everyone. This diversity ensures that people can always find something that resonates with their current stage of life, experiences, and personal inclinations. This richness in variety also contributes to the vibrant and dynamic cultural landscape that we experience in society,” Yadav said.
