In a recent edition of “Mann ki Baat,” Prime Minister Narendra Modi commended the women of the Niti-Mana Valley in Uttarakhand’s Chamoli district, near the India-China border, for her impressive work in developing Bhojpatra calligraphy as a means of livelihood. Modi expressed admiration for how Bhojpatra, an integral part of India’s cultural heritage and used to write the ancient epic of Mahabharata, has brought new prosperity to the lives of these women.
