Ashok Gehlot, chief minister of Rajasthan, inaugurated 'Padharo Mhare Des', a digital COVID relief concert series to support the folk artists of the state, on Sunday.

Speaking on the occasion, the chief minister said, "Folk artists are solely dependent on their art for livelihood. This is a unique concept to support such folk artists during the coronavirus crisis.

As many as 70 folk artists from the interiors of Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, and Barmer will take part in the series.

"We are extremely grateful to CM Gehlot ji for supporting this initiative. He has always endorsed the state's art and culture and his support is encouraging for the folk artists and us," said Manesha A Agarwal, the founder of Arpan Foundation. Arpan Foundation is the organiser of the event.
