Oscar-winning musician AR Rahman presented three students scholarships to study at the Berklee College of Music. One of the most prestigious music schools in the world, the winners are one each from Assam, Uttarakhand, and New Delhi. "I think it's a new beginning for many things to follow. I've always been wondering why is it so difficult to learn Western music here. So by this initiative many doors are going to open, many musical leaders being born who can put the knowledge of Western music and the whole infrastructure could even spread the Indian music to a wider extent. I hope it expands amazingly well," he was quoted saying at the event.
