Delhi BJP president Harsh Malhotra on Wednesday interacted with eminent personalities from the art and culture sector as part of the BJP’s outreach campaign to mark 12 years of the Narendra Modi-led government at the Centre.

The interaction was held at the Indira Gandhi National Centre for the Arts (IGNCA) on Janpath, where Malhotra highlighted the government’s achievements over the past 12 years and sought suggestions from stakeholders involved in cultural institutions and heritage preservation.

Those present included representatives from the Parliament Museum, National Archives, IGNCA, President’s Museum, Centre for Cultural Resources and Training (CCRT) and the National Crafts Museum. BJP leader Prof Abhishek Tandon also attended the programme.

Malhotra said the Modi government had worked towards preserving and promoting India’s cultural heritage while providing artists, craftsmen, writers and cultural practitioners with greater opportunities and institutional support.

He added that several initiatives had been launched to strengthen the country’s cultural ecosystem and showcase its artistic legacy on international platforms. “Art and culture are not only symbols of our identity but also an invaluable legacy for future generations.
