JAMMU, Jan 13: Dogri Sanstha Jammu released calendar for the year 2024 in a simple but impressive function organized at Dogri Sanstha, Karan Nagar, here today.
This year’s calendar has pictures of 6 prolific Dogri writers Rattan Kesar, Padam Dev Singh Nirdosh, Ram Lal Sharma, Mohan Lal Sapolia and OP Sharma Sarthi.
On the occasion, Prof Lalit Magotra (president, Dogri Sanstha Jammu) said that Sanstha has been releasing calendar every year with the focal point of making the young generation aware of their elders who have contributed immensely in preserving mother tongue Dogri. He further added that although they are not with us physically but will ever remain in our memories due to their colossal contributions in Dogri literature.
Rajeshwar Singh ‘Raju’, general secretary of Sanstha, while sharing his views on the concept of having the pictures of eminent Dogri litterateurs on the calendar said that it is an effort not to recall their contributions only but also paying homage to the stalwarts of Dogri literature by Dogri Sanstha, a pioneer organization working for preserving and promoting mother tongue Dogri and Duggar cultural traditions since it was formed way back in 1944.
The calendar has been designed by Pawan Verma, well known Dogri poet and theatre activist. The function was attended by galaxy of eminent personalities including working committee members and executive body members of Sanstha.
