Migrants of Mithila, who are well-, settled in good number in Silvassa, the capital city of Dadra & Nagar Haveli greeted the Union Home Minister Amit Shah minister with Mithila Paag, the cultural symbol of the region. It was the first-ever Shah’s visit to the territory after he became the Home Minister of India.

Remarkably, the first-ever postal stamp featuring Mithila Paag was issued and released by Narendra Modi led central government in 2017 in recognition of the cultural values of the headgear after historic ‘Save the Paag Campaign’ was launched in 2016 wherein a large number of Maithils took to streets to press the demand for their cultural identity under the banner of social pressure outfit Mithilalok Foundation, working for socio-economic and cultural development.

One needs to know the heritage of the land of Goddess Sita where she came into being in the treta epoch “said Dr Birbal Jha, Chairman of Mithilalok Foundation.
