Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has pledged continued government support for Kauthig festivals, describing them as an important platform for showcasing the cultural heritage of the region.
Speaking in Dehradun, Dhami said the festivals help bring people together while giving artists space to present their performances. He also said they create opportunities for the new generation to participate in cultural activities.
Focus on cultural continuity
Dhami said sustained efforts are being made to present local culture and ensure that younger generations remain familiar with Uttarakhand’s traditions and heritage. He linked the festivals to the preservation of culture across generations.
“An effort has been made to provide a single platform for the rich cultural heritage of this region,” Dhami said. He added that the platform connects a vast number of people and allows artists to deliver their performances.
The Chief Minister said the objective was not only to showcase cultural traditions in the present, but also to help pass them from one generation to the next. His remarks placed artists and young participants at the centre of that effort.
Praise for Akhil Garhwal Sabha
Dhami extended his congratulations and best wishes to the President of the Akhil Garhwal Sabha and the organisation’s team for their work in organising the Kauthig festivals.
He said the team was working extremely hard to arrange the festivals and described their contribution as noble work. Dhami assured the organisers that the Uttarakhand government stood firmly with them.
The Chief Minister also said official support would continue and that efforts to promote the region’s local culture would progress continuously. He did not announce a new funding package, festival schedule or specific government programme in the remarks available.
For residents and cultural groups in Uttarakhand, the statement signals continued political backing for festivals that provide a public stage to artists and a place for younger people to engage with regional heritage. The available remarks, however, do not specify the dates, venues or programme details of any particular Kauthig festival.
Conclusion
Dhami has backed the Kauthig festivals as a shared platform for Uttarakhand’s cultural heritage, artists and younger performers, while assuring the Akhil Garhwal Sabha of continued government support.
