The finalists for the 2015 annual scholarship has been announced. Most of the participants did very well and based on their performance, financial situation and future potential selecting the “top 10” was a tough job. This year the foundation decided to select twelve candidates to appear for the finals on 15th. January, 2015. The candidates are (in Alphabetic order): Bilwamangal Sardar, Mahima Saha, Mitali Debnath, Nilanjana Halder, Sathi Paul, Sarmistha Ghosh Hazra, Silvia Mukherjee, Snigdha Chattopadhyay, Subhra Biswas, Supriti Choudhury, Swarnali Raha and Tiyasha Chatterjee.

Our First year’s Scholarship Auditions are complete. More than sixty (60) pre-screened (by local schools and organizations) candidates from as far as Purulia, Bolpur and Suri came to Salt Lake for the auditions. Students from various backgrounds made the two days very colorful and humming. One judge summarized it very well… “we had two days of musical picnic”!!
A few photos are posted for your eyes! The finalists will be announced within the next 3 days!
Finals will be held on Januray 15, 2015 at Gyan Manch. The winners will be announced and scholarships will be awarded on the same day.

First day’s audition went pretty well! The judges were very friendly. The most impressive fact was that they were trying to get the best out of the kids! One of the kids invited the judges to visit her home . The judges almost unanimously said “gaan sonabi?” (Will you sing for us??).
Tomorrow’s auditions will start at 10A.M. We will update once the judges pick the finalists!!

Our First Kolkata auditions start in less than 48 hours. Mr. Kajal Sengupta, Mr. Gora Gupta, Mrs. Mita Kundu and Mr. Pinaki Bose will be the judges for the auditions.
Bebi Da (Mr. Pratap Roy) has graciously accepted to be the Chief Judge for the 15th. January, 2015 Finals and awards ceremony to be held at Gyan Manch, Kolkata.
Thanks to all our volunteers, friends and donors, without whose untiring help and generous donations, we would not have been able to hold the event in Kolkata.
