He went on to add that just like the sanskrit urdu punjabi festival being conducted by the Delhi Government at the Central Govt, Connaught Place, the Maithili Bhojpuri is expected to be organised in November 2019.
The Deputy CM went ahead with his speech, where he said that though currently there are no awards for the contributors of Maithili Bhojpuri Culture, who have assumed the roles of a Journalist or Literary Artist, from now the Delhi Government plans to honor these achievers. Plan is to organise some 12 awards, for “A Lifetime Achievement Award” for both the languages at 2.5 lakh rupees each.
