Chairman Punjab Art Council
There was a time when humanity mistook conquest for progress. When the hunger for power overshadowed the pursuit of meaning, and civilization, in its blind rush forward, severed itself from its own soul. The result? A world where life continues, but the essence of living crumbles. An age where machines grow intelligent, yet meaning slips through our fingers like sand. But we are not here to mourn. We are here to create.
Punjab has always been a land of deep expression—of poetry that outlives empires, of colours that echo through time, of melodies that carry the weight of generations, and of stories that breathe life into existence itself. It is this creative force, this celebration of meanings, that we must reclaim. Not as nostalgia, but as the only way forward.
Now, through KALADUAR—the gateway to Punjab’s creative renaissance—we reclaim our legacy and reimagine our future Through the Punjab Sahit Academy, Punjab Lalit Academy, Punjab Sangeet Natak Academy, and Punjab Cinema & Digital Arts Academy, we are igniting a cultural renaissance—one where Art is not just a reflection of life but its very heartbeat. Where every word, every brushstroke, every note, and every frame is a defiance against meaninglessness. This is a call to all creators, dreamers, and seekers. Join us—not as spectators, but as architects of a new world, where art does not entertain but awakens. Where culture is not heritage, but destiny. The time of power is fading. The era of meaning begins now. Step into it.
