New music college in Mumbai to be named after Lata Mangeshkar

“A committee had been set up under the chairmanship of Hridaynath Mangeshkar and it has members like Zakir Hussain and A R Rahman, among others. The committee had submitted a report on establishing an institute within the campus of University of Mumbai, but unfortunately adequate space could not be provided. There is a three-acre space nearby belonging to the Technical Education Department, which will be allotted for this institute,” said Samant.

Meanwhile, the Higher and Technical Education Department has organised a programme in memory of the late singer, which will be streamed live from Samant’s Facebook page. A YouTube link has also been shared with all colleges across Maharashtra, which have been asked to let students participate in the event.
