Mahendra Gondeea, congratulated the participants for their commitment and perseverance throughout the programme. He emphasised that the initiative went beyond learning how to play a traditional instrument.<\/p><p>Through such programmes, the Ministry aims to provide young people with a passion, discipline and a positive alternative, while enabling them to develop skills which may eventually open the door to further artistic development and even professional opportunities.<\/p><p>The closing ceremony was attended by the Vice-President of the Republic and Members of the National Assembly representing the constituency.<\/p><p>The Minister expressed his appreciation to the National Agency for Drug Control (NADC), the Nelson Mandela Centre for African Culture and the Municipal City Council of Port Louis for their valuable collaboration in the implementation of the
