A grand felicitation ceremony was organised at Eros five star hotel in New Delhi during the literary fortnight of “World Hindi Day” under the joint aegis of “Fav Fairs International Organization and Three Fingers Entertainment Limited Mumbai”. Various talented personalities from India and abroad participated in it.
Aligarh has been the mother of art and literature, which has given Aligarh great eminent writers like Shahryar, Ravindra Jain and Neeraj. Now “Rahi” has also set out on the same path. And after completing his 40 years long marathon writing journey, he is reaching new heights every day. Even Bhagyashree, the actress of the superhit film “Maine Pyar Kiya”, said that we like lyricist Dr. Avnish Rahi’s much-discussed music album “Mahakarunik Da Lord Buddha” adorned with the voices of Melody King Kumar Sanu and Anuradha Paudwal. Listening to it gives a different feeling of peace and tranquility to the mind.
Bharat Vibhushan Dr. Avnish Rahi, litterateur conferred with the honorary degree of Vidya Vachaspati Doctorate of Aligarh, was conferred with the national award of “Sahitya Shiromani Shabd Samman-2025” for his incomparable contribution in the creation of continuous and equally excellent songs in both literature and Bollywood genres.
Bollywood actress Bhagyashree, who was participating as the chief guest in the program, conferred the title of “Sahitya Shiromani Shabd Samman-2025” on lyricist Dr. Avnish by presenting him with a shawl, medal, memento. And said that lyricist Dr. Avnish Rahi does not serve vulgarity in his songs like other lyricists for cheap popularity, but writes and sings the pain of the people, keeping human values above everything else. And this is the duty of a true lyricist and litterateur.
Lyricist Dr. Avnish Rahi, who is a lecturer in Hiralal Barhasaini College, said that I dedicate this honour to all literature lovers. I am very overwhelmed by all the honours and awards I have received so far and for that I express my gratitude and greetings to all my fans along with the people of Aligarh. But it is also true that by receiving these awards and honours, my responsibility has increased more than ever. And further said that these honours and awards are the result of the education and culture given by my father, litterateur Amar Singh Rahi, which will always remain close to my heart.
