Bokaro: State art, culture,
sports and youth affair ministry is going to come up with its own
Jharkhand anthem in line of
the national anthem to develop patriotism among people of the state.
Minister
Amar Kumar Bauri talking to TOI at Circuit House on Saturday, said that the process to choose an anthem has begun. The Jharkhand anthem will instill a sense of unity and devotion and help in eliminating ‘outsider-insider’ feelings among the residents.
The notification inviting entries for submission of patriotic songs praising the history, tradition, geography and struggle of the people of Jharkhand, will be circulated soon.
A committee of experts constituted by the government will choose the best song from the entries. “The Jharkhand anthem will be in Hindi and thus the entries will be invited in Hindi language. Chief minister
Raghubar Das has already given his consent to it. The government has a plan to dedicate the state anthem to Jharkhandis on the Foundation Day of Jharkhand on November 15 this year,” said the minister.
He added that any resident of Jharkhand can submit his patriotic musical composition after the notification.
