Noida, 25 December: Marwah Studios paid rich tributes to Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee, former Prime Minister of India, on the occasion of his 101st birth anniversary, observed on 25th December, which is also marked nationwide as Good Governance Day. The commemorative program celebrated the life, vision, and enduring legacy of one of India’s most respected statesmen and eminent poets.
While addressing the gathering, Dr. Sandeep Marwah, President of Marwah Studios and Asian Academy of Arts, recalled the unparalleled contribution of Atal Bihari Vajpayee to the nation. He emphasized that Shri Vajpayee’s ideals of democracy, cultural harmony, and ethical governance continue to inspire generations across India and beyond.
Dr. Marwah further highlighted that in August 2018, soon after the passing of the former Prime Minister on 18th August 2018, the Asian Academy of Arts instituted the Atal Bihari Vajpayee National Award for the Promotion of Art and Culture on 28th August 2018. “This national-level award was created to honor individuals who have made outstanding contributions to art and culture, as a mark of respect to the great poet and statesman of the Republic of India,” he said.
