New Delhi : Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Prakash Javadekar inaugurated All India Radio’s new Broadcast Auditorium and launched a digital version of ‘Gurbani’ of archival value as preserved in Prasar Bharati Archives in New Delhi on November 15, 2019.  To mark the 550th Prakash Parv of Guru Nanak Dev Ji, ‘Bani Utsav’ – a Shabad-Kirtan Concert by eminent Raagis, was also organised by the External Services Division of All India Radio (AIR).

Expressing his contentment over the successfully completed new Auditorium, Jadekar stated that this multi-purpose auditorium will now act as a one stop-destination for artists which will help in promoting their creativity and talent. “An auditorium of its own would not only help in organising the existing regular events but also in holding more events to popularise various genres of music, dance, theatre etc. and have the potential of turning the place into a new cultural hub and destination in the capital, said Javadekar.

Lauding the efforts of both Prasar Bharati and Ministry of Information and Broadcasting in completing the state-of-the-art modern Auditorium, Javadekar stressed to make the adequate utilisation of such a facility and promote work of art. Accompanied by Union Minister for Food Processing Industries Harsimrat Kaur Badal and Minister of State for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Babul Supriyo, Javadekar also unveiled a Plaque of the New Auditorium.

Recalling the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj,  Harsimrat Kaur Badal spoke of the noble saint’s Prakash having spread far and wide not only today in the times of technology, but over 500 years ago when he walked on the surface of the earth and travelled from Asia to Middle-East, Caribbean shores to Central Asian meadows and was received as a prophet of succour and solace needed by humanity for worldly and eternal peace, with a message of universal brotherhood, according to a PIB release.
