Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan dedicated the Kala Panchang published by the Culture Department at his residence. Tourism, Culture and Spirituality Minister Usha Thakur and Principal Secretary Culture and Public Relations Sheo Shekhar Shukla were also present on the occasion. Minister Usha Thakur presented a book titled Bundelkhand ke Bitti Chitra (Mural Paintings of Bundelkhand) to Chief Minister Chouhan.

The Kala Panchang has been published with the hope that the country will be free from the crisis of Corona epidemic and cultural activities will be organised as before. If the activities cannot be conducted physically then efforts will be made to organise the events online.

The Kala Panchang for the year 2021-22 portrays the Madhya Pradesh tribes attachment to the nature. The cover page of the Panchang has a painting of Karma dance by Kalabai Shyam. Along with this, the Panchang is adorned with the depictions of Bhuri Bai, Nanku Siya Shyam, Lado Bai, Durgabai, Narmada Prasad Tekam and Ram Singh.
