PM Modi to inaugurate Marathi literary convention in February: Fadnavis

Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi will inaugurate the 98th All India Marathi Literature Convention scheduled to be held in New Delhi from February 21-23, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Thursday.

According to news agency PTI, Fadnavis made these remarks after inaugurating the camp office of the Akhil Bhartiya Marathi Sahitya Sammelan (All India Marathi Literature Convention) at the old Maharashtra Sadan in the national capital.

He said the PM has agreed to inaugurate the annual convention, which is being held in the national capital for the first time since the creation of the state of Maharashtra in 1960, PTI reported.

The annual gathering of Marathi litterateurs from across the world was last held in Delhi in 1954 when prominent Sanskrit scholar Lakshman Shastri Joshi was the president of the convention.

The convention was inaugurated by the then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, PTI reported.

Writer and folk culture researcher Tara Bhawalkar has been elected as the president of the 98th edition of the convention, becoming the sixth woman to hold the post.
