Odisha Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik today urged the Centre to confer classical status to Odisha Music (Vocal and Instrumental) to fulfill the long cherished dream of the music lovers of Odisha and India.

The Chief Minister wrote a letter to Union Culture & Tourism Minister Prahlad Singh Patel in this regard on Friday.

“It is a matter of concern that Odishi Music, the tradition of which dates back almost to second century B.C.E is yet to be recognized as a classical music by the Government of India”, the Odisha CM mentioned in the letter.
