Rang-e-Pakistan Festival celebrates cultural heritage

The three-day Rang-e-Pakistan Festival officially kicked off under the aegis of the Lok Virsa, National Heritage and Culture Division on Saturday, aiming to promote Pakistan's rich cultural, historical and literary heritage. Federal Secretary for National Heritage and Culture Hassan Nasir Jamy officially inaugurated the festival in which the promotion of Pakistan's rich cultural, historical and literary heritage and the prominent activities of the institutions of the Ministry of National Heritage and Culture were highlighted. This festival will continue from 10am to 10pm daily at the Lok Virsa Complex, Shakarparian. A large number of people from the twin cities attended the festival on the first day. This festival provides an opportunity for skilled craftsmen and artisans to showcase their art and celebrate their art at the national level. The objectives of this festival include honouring skilled craftsmen, folk artists and artisans and encouraging them to continue their respective arts so that this national cultural heritage of ours can be passed on to the new generation. Lok Virsa, being an important institution promoting Pakistani culture, is well aware of the need for gender equality, which is evident in every programme it organises from time to time, as this way, both male and female artists get equal opportunities to express their talents and gain recognition. Many female artists can also be seen showcasing their art at this festival. All the subsidiaries of the ministry, including the Pakistan National Council of the Arts, Pakistan Academy of Letters, Department of Archaeology and Museums, Department of National Language Promotion, National Library of Pakistan, and Quaid-e-Azam Academy, have set up their special stalls in this festival.
