Be it the mighty Himalayas, the great expanse of the Rann of Kutch or the beautiful Ghats that make up our coastline – the diverse geography, rich history and vibrant demography of India gives each of us a different reason for our affection and admiration towards Maa Bharati.
As the nation marks its 75th year of Independence, let’s rekindle the sense of pride in our collective identity. In this period of Amrit Kaal, let us write new patriotic songs which will reverberate with the spirit of New India. The colours of one’s art, culture, song, music must certainly be filled in Amrit Mahotsav too.
Participate in the ‘Deshbhakti Geet’ contest open for people across India.
Selection Criteria
Be it adolescents or adults, love and devotion towards our motherland has always found a special corner in all our hearts. In an effort to give voice to India’s patriotic soul, every Indian with ages of 10+ is invited to send in their entries here.
These patriotic songs can be in the mother tongue, can be in national language, and can be written in English too. But it is essential that these creations reflect the thought of new India; inspired by the current success of the country, it should be such that fuels the country’s resolve for the future.
The competition will be held in four stages to incentivize local flavours to emerge and be declared winners and also have the chance to compete at district, state and national level.
Lohri / Poetry Competition
In a world that is swiftly becoming digital, this wonderful practice and our traditional loris (lullabies) also afford an opportunity to be told afresh – the same age-old stories but told in new formats or new stories told in tune with modern impulses. In order to revive this beautiful tradition and with it, preserve the local compositions for the generations to come, we are organising a Lori (Lullaby) competition for parents, guardians, and children across India.
Selection Criteria
Every Indian is invited to send in their entries here.
Loris (Lullabies) pertaining to patriotism, poems, songs, something or the other which can be easily recited by mothers in every home to their little children shall be eligible for the contest . In these loris (lullabies) there should be reference to modern India, the vision of 21st century India and its dreams.
Participants are encouraged to submit loris (lullabies) in their mother tongue but if the participant is conversant in more than one language then they can choose their language of choice.
The competition will be held in three stages to incentivize local stories to be told and be declared winners and also have the chance to compete at state and national level.
