Union Minister Sarbananda Sonowal has launched an initiative ‘Bharat Pravah – India along its Shores’ to highlight the role of rivers-ports-shipping in the everyday life of a common man through literature, dialogue and communication.
Under the Bharat Pravah initiative, events would be organised around various topics, such as ‘Rivers and Sea-Centric Development in India: Through a Historical Lens’ and ‘Sea, Rivers, Ports and Ship in Folk Culture and Literature’, among others.
Bharat Pravah is being organized at a time when India is celebrating Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsava with a focus on the economic, cultural, and historical significance of India’s waterways, ports, and shipping.
The events would be organized at the key hubs of waterways, ports, and shipping across the country at Mumbai, Kolkata, Guwahati, Visakhapatnam, Varanasi, Calicut, and others. It would cover the expanse of Bharat- from Dwarika in the West to Guwahati in the East; from Varanasi in the North to Rameswaram in the South
