“I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Shri Pushkar Singh Dhami Ji and the Government of Uttarakhand for their unwavering support. It is a privilege to be present here in Devbhoomi Uttarakhand and witness the enthusiasm of each student who has traveled from distant corners of our country to partake in this esteemed festival. Over these three days, through various competitions, our students will have the opportunity to showcase their remarkable talents.

For many of you, this journey to Uttarakhand might have been your first experience of airplane and train travel, especially aboard the Vande Bharat Express. I trust that you have cherished these experiences. As you return from this event, you will carry with you not only the memories but also a significant and transformative experience. National-level cultural festivals like this one have a profound purpose: to spotlight your talents, nurture your creativity, and empower you to reach your goals.”
