She distributed certificates to the artists. It was attended by several students and other denizens. Speaking to The Hans India, Minister Roja said that her ministry has been trying to revive the ancient arts by encouraging artists by throwing light on them.
All the performances are being prepared as a documentary for posterity and asking them to register their details including their place and art form etc.,
There was no data in the state so far about the cultural artists and their information. Now, an attempt is made to digitise everything by maintaining the state data. This will help in providing welfare schemes to them as the entire information is available from now onwards, she maintained.
