Jammu, Friday: Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Friday said that artists and Gen Z entrepreneurs will together play a decisive role in shaping India’s future, highlighting the powerful alliance between art and business in building a vibrant and developed society.
“Art and business alliance is a unique power. Imagination and investment, when combined, can build a progressive and inclusive society,” the Lieutenant Governor said while addressing the valedictory session of the International Painting Workshop at IIM Jammu.
