The AIR’s special digital version of the epic will be released by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday, official sources said, adding that the recordings of Goswami Tulsidas’ work, sung by leading singers of Bhopal ‘gharana’, have been done by the AIR over several years and are regularly broadcast especially in Hindi heartland.

The ‘Ramcharitmanas’ was composed and recorded for the first time in 1980 at Akashvani Bhopal under the guidance of then station director Samar Bahadur Singh. The officials said the Prime Minister would also felicitate some prominent artists at the event on Monday.

Information and Broadcasting Minister Arun Jaitley, Minister of State for I&B Rajyavardhan Rathore, Prasar Bharati Chairperson A Suryaprakash, I&B secretary Bimal Julka and other senior officials are expected to be present.
