Welcoming all poets present at the event, including eminent poet Dr Kumar Vishwas, the Chief Minister said, 'Poets are not only the creators of words, but they are also the thinkers, guides, and motivators of society. Their poems hold a mirror to society and offer direction, especially in challenging times. Through their writings, they help bring about positive change.' He further said that India's freedom movement gained momentum when poets and creators inspired people to participate actively in the struggle for independence through their literary contributions. 'India's freedom movement also gained momentum only when our poets and creators inspired the countrymen to play an active role in the freedom movement through their creations. The Chief Minister said that this holy land of our Devbhoomi has been a wonderful centre of creativity for centuries, where the light of ideas has inspired society in every era. Be it Shri Ayodhya Singh Upadhyay Hariaudh or Sumitranandan Pant ji, Girda or Nagarjun, the compositions of all these, written in the valleys of Uttarakhand, still resonate with us. In the holy land of Uttarakhand, on one hand, new heights of ideas are born from the lofty peaks of the Himalayas and on the other hand, the murmur of the rivers has the hidden rhythm of poetry', said Pushkar Singh Dhami.
