President Pranab Mukherjee was today presented with a booklet on Kavi Pradeep, a renowned poet and songwriter, best known for his patriotic song 'aye mere watan ke logo'.
Kavi Pradeep Foundation President Avinash Pandey, accompanied by legendary poet's daughter Mitul, noted Hindi poets Madhup Pandey, Umesh Sharma and others met Mukherjee at Raj Bhawan here and presented the booklet titled 'Swarnika'.
The booklet was brought out to mark the golden jubilee celebration of the song, a tribute to the Indian soldiers who died defending the country during the 1962 war with China. It was sung by melody queen Lata Mangeshkar.
Pandey also presented a collection of his poems, 'Vishwatma' to the President, who was on a visit to the city.
