music competition. He said “tribals have written and unwritten long oral
traditions and this competition will attract tribal people and other singers to
come out in open and showcase their talent”. Expressing his personal enthusiasm
towards this competition, the Hon’ble Minister stated that such initiatives are
vital to preserve, protect and promote the deep rooted cultural heritage of our
nation. Emphasizing on tribal’s vibrant culture, he also opined that tribals
have musical songs for each and every occasion to celebrate life so this talent
show will also provide an opportunity to discover the hidden talent of the
nation. In the end, he also extended Ministry’s support in order to make this a
successful event.
To showcase their musical talent
through this free platform, participants particularly from the tribal
community have to upload an audio clipping and mail to
