A proud and historic moment for Nagaland as Guru Sangyusang Pongener received the prestigious Padma Shri from President Droupadi Murmu Ji. This well-deserved recognition honours his lifelong dedication to preserving, promoting, and passing on the rich heritage of Ao-Naga folk arts, culture, and traditions to future generations.
His invaluable contributions have not only safeguarded our cultural identity but have also brought the vibrant traditions of Nagaland to the national stage. On behalf of the people of Nagaland, I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Guru Sangyusang Pongener on this remarkable achievement. I also express my sincere gratitude to Hon’ble Prime Minister @narendramodi Ji and the Government of India for conferring this prestigious honour and recognizing the rich cultural heritage of our state. @rashtrapatibhvn
