PM launches Pandit Jasraj Cultural Foundation

Kolkata, Jan 28(UNI) In a momentous virtual ceremony on Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the Pandit Jasraj Cultural Foundation, a not-for-profit organisation set up to protect, develop and promote the National Heritage, Art & Culture of India.
Addressing the event, Prime Minister said, “Today, on the birth anniversary of Pandit Jasraj, I am proud to launch Pandit Jasraj Cultural Foundation. I especially want to congratulate Durga Jasraj and Pandit Shaaranj Dev. I have had the opportunity to meet Pandit Ji and listen to his soulful music several times. No compliment is enough for you to carry on the tradition of his music. The foundation's commitment to passing on Pandit Ji's legacy to future generations is unprecedented."
Founded by Durga Jasraj, actor, singer, music producer and promoter and the daughter of Pandit Jasraj along with Neeraj Jaitly, the foundation aims to take forward the legacy and philosophy of the legendary Sangeet Martand Pandit Jasraj Ji. It is their firm belief that the Traditional Music is the wealth of our country and should be showcased and popularised in all its elements and glory, collating various creative aspects and presenting it in a contemporary manner without diluting the core.
