Susheela inaugurated the Sangeet Natak Akademi’s Dakshin Bharat Sanskritik Kendra and laid the foundation stone for Bharat Kala Mandapam in Madhapur’s Centre for Cultural Resources and Training on Monday.

Venkaiah Naidu said “Modi has worked tirelessly towards a cultural renaissance in India, and the nation really compliments him for this.”
He also voiced the importance of preserving mother tongues to protect the cultural heritage of our country, and said “By way of the national education policy, Modi is actively promoting and preserving our mother tongue”.
