than 700 districts across the

Many many congratulations (Scan to listen)
to all the participants in these “सो जाओ, सो जाओ, बेबी,
competitions from my side.
Each one of you, in your own मेरे समझदार लाडले, सो जाओ,
right, is a champion, an art ददन चला गया है और अँधेरा है,
seeker. You all have shown how दनद्ा देवी आ जाएगी,
much love you have for the दसतारों के बाग से,
diversity and culture of your
country.
Friends, today on this
occasion, it is very natural for me
to remember Lata Mangeshkar
ji, Lata Didi. Because on the
day that this competition had
started, Lata Didi had urged the
countrymen by tweeting that
they must join this endeavour.
Friends, in the lullaby writing
competition, the first prize has
been won by B.M. Manjunath
ji of Chamrajnagar district in
Karnataka. He received this
award for his lullaby ‘Malagu
Kanda’ written in Kannada. He
got the inspiration to write this
from the lullabies sung by his
mother and grandmother. Listen
to it, you will enjoy it too.
