Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to be honoured with the first Lata Deenanath Mangeshkar Award at the 80th annual Master Deenanath Mangeshkar Awards ceremony on April 24.
The award was instituted in the memory and honour of legendary singer Lata Mangeshkar who passed away at the age of 92 years in Mumbai earlier this year.
This award will be given every year to only one individual who has made path-breaking, spectacular and exemplary contributions to our nation, its people and our society.
April 24 marks the 80th death anniversary of Master Deenanath Mangeshkar, the singing legend’s father.
