The chief minister of Uttarakhand in a rare gesture of generosity and kindness personally visited the residence of the legendary singer of Uttarakhand also pronounced as Garh Ratn (precious stone of Uttarakhand) Narendra Singh Negi. The CM conveyed his heartiest greetings to Mr. Negi for being chosen as one of the recipients’ of the prestigious Sangeet Natak Academy award for folk singing. Some other dignitaries to have been chosen for this award include eminent singer Malini Awasthi, Sonal Man Singh, veteran classical dancer, Ustad Zakir Hussain, eminent Tabla player, etc.
This coveted award will be delivered to Narendra Singh Negi at Rashtrapati Bhawan by the president of India at a glittering function in the presence of several dignitaries and 44 other recipients for their outstanding contribution in singing, dance, arts, theatre, etc.
Congratulating Negi, Uttarakhand chief minister hailed him as the flag bearer for conserving and promoting the cultural heritage of Uttarakhand. He also stated that this honor to him is an honor to the entire state of Uttarakhand and its people as Narendra Singh Negi’s contribution to Uttarakhand’s folk culture, songs and music is unparalleled.
The chief minister while conveying his regards and best wishes for his long life said that Negi’s lyrics and song carry a significant socio-cultural message and are, therefore, a valuable asset for the hill state.
The Uttarakhand CM has a special soft corner for Mr. Negi as he had helped him get admitted to a private hospital last year and helped saved his life when the latter suffered from a massive cardiac arrest.
It may be recalled that the coveted Sangeet Natak Academy Awards are bestowed on eminent personalities in singing, arts, and culture, theatre and music every year to 44 persons of eminence in the aforesaid fields hailing from the different states of the country.
Negi has so far written and sung thousands of songs in his melodious voice conveying socio-cultural messages thus entertaining the myriad population of Uttarakhand globally.
