AN awesome series , galaxy of topmost musicians taking part. Problems for aged enthusiasts like me is non availability of transport after kutcheris. It will be very helpful if special buses are arranged in consultation with the Transport Dept

In what context is the above topic related to music/fine arts?.

[eppramod]

This is the one festival which happens closest to my place.

Rajesh,

I may be wrong, but that talk may be more related to other activities of SGBS/Unnati, which OP says

"SGBS Trust organizes this cultural event to showcase their flagship program, Unnati. Unnati is a free vocational training program for the underprivileged youth. The USP of this program is that till date the program has provided 100% campus placements to all its students. Over 28 batches comprising of 1500 students have been empowered till date."
