Jyotiraditya Scindia attends Hornbill Festival in Nagaland

Union Minister for Communications and DoNER Jyotiraditya Scindia on Saturday participated in the globally acclaimed Hornbill Festival, marking a vibrant celebration of Nagaland’s tribal heritage, cultural diversity and artistic traditions. Speaking at the Kisama Heritage Village, the Minister highlighted the growing global footprint of the festival, noting that Switzerland, Ireland and the United Kingdom have joined as official partner countries for Hornbill 2025 – a first for the event. He credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Act East policy for transforming the Northeast into “India’s first frontier to the world”. Scindia emphasised his personal connection with Nagaland and praised the state’s 17 tribes for preserving their unique cultural identity. “Hornbill reflects the essence of Nagaland’s living heritage. The Prime Minister’s focus on cultural diplomacy, connectivity and tourism has given this festival global visibility,” he said. Scindia engaged extensively with local artisans, entrepreneurs and cultural practitioners. At the Regional Craft and Resource Centre in Touphema Village, he interacted with women artisans, observed basket weaving, witnessed the crafting of the Naga Dao, and even played the traditional TaTi instrument alongside local musicians.

This year’s festival offered an expansive mix of cultural and contemporary showcases – traditional dances, village walks, handloom exhibitions, indigenous games, culinary experiences and the famed Hornbill International Rock Contest – while ensuring that community voices remained at the centre of the celebrations.
