The evening also featured a vibrant presentation of traditional Punjabi folk dance, with the Jugni Cultural Group performing Luddi and Bhangra. Their energetic performance received thunderous applause from the audience, offering visiting delegates a glimpse into Punjab’s living folk traditions.
Welcoming the investors and delegates, Punjab’s Industries and Commerce Minister Sanjeev Arora said that the Punjab Government led by CM Bhagwant Singh Mann had ensured that the summit highlighted not only the state’s investment potential but also its glorious heritage and cultural richness. “Through this summit, we have showcased both the immense opportunities for economic growth in Punjab and the vibrant culture that defines our state. We want every investor to feel the warmth of Punjab and leave with a lasting impression of its people, traditions and possibilities,” said Sanjeev Arora.
