Speaking on the occasion, Prof Lalit Magotra, President of the Dogri Sanstha, said that Sanstha has been publishing Dogri calendar for the last four years now and it’s the fifth time that New Year Calendar is published.

He further added that the special feature of Dogri Calendar is that it carries the exclusive information about festivals of Duggar Pradesh and helps us, the Dogras to remain connected to our traditions.
On this occasion, he thanked all those who have contributed wholeheartedly in getting the calendar published and hoped that the same warm response will remain a continuity in future also.
Rajeshwar Singh ‘Raju’, General Secretary of Dogri Sanstha Jammu, while sharing his views on publishing calendars as a continuous process, said that such creative efforts help in addressing core issues of promoting own mother tongue also. He said that our elders, who have enriched our written literature should be remembered by all of us and the calendars act as significant platform in this case.
