Chief Guest Minister Shailendra Prasad Sah Views on Music Maithili
In today’s program, I am very proud to have the opportunity to launch the world’s first Maithili music streaming app and website.This effort by the youth for their Maithili language in the world is highly appreciated. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all the young individuals who have taken this monumental initiative to safeguard our ‘motherland and mother tongue’, alongside the Mithila team.
For the first time, a budget of 10 million has been earmarked for the preservation and promotion of the Maithili language in the Madhes province. I am committed to making every effort to enhance its stature and vitality. We are actively promoting Maithili culture in our daily governmental activities. It is a source of joy and pride to witness Maithili music and musicians collaborating to extend the reach of the Maithili language from our state to the global stage.
The state has not been able to give due respect to Maithili language musicians. Whether I am a minister or not, I will support and cooperate with the Maithili workers as much.
Guest’s opinion to Music Maithili
May I be the happiest to be born in Mithila. We’ve done a lot so far. This is the first time we have seen this platform by bringing Maithili music, Maithili culture-culture to such media. No one can attack our civilization, our language anymore. The originality of Mithila has been unparalleled.
