Noted singer Suman Kalyanpur and music composer Kuldeep Singh were conferred the Madhya Pradesh government's National Lata Mangeshkar Samman on Thursday night.
While Kalyanpur got the award for the year 2017, Singh received it for 2018.
State Culture Minister Vijayalakshmi Sadho gave away the awards to the two personalities at a function here.
In a swipe at the previous BJP government, Sadho said, "People say the national Lata Mangeshkar Samman ceremony was confined to just the government for the last seven years due to which it lost its charm. But with Kamal Nath as state chief minister, the award function has restarted with grandeur."
