'Mitti Ke Sitare, India’s first musical reality
show for underprivileged kids between 7-15 years, is pleased to
announce their top 18 semi-finalists.
Shortlisted from 1187 MCGM and slum schools of Mumbai, they will now get
an opportunity to introduce themselves at the Grand Finale on 22nd
June, 2019. The semi-finalists, specially handpicked after
extensive rounds of auditions, are immensely gifted singers in both the spheres
of vocal and instrumental music.
‘Mitti Ke Sitare’ is a social initiative by
renowned social activist and Vice President-Corporate Head with Axis Bank, Mrs.
Amruta Fadnavis organized by Divyaj Foundation, in association with MPower
Foundation, to provide a platform for the hidden talents across indigent areas
of Mumbai. To conduct this social welfare project, Divyaj Foundation associated
with 1187 MCGM schools to connect, identify and select
children from the underprivileged sector - those who are blessed with talent
but lack resources to improve themselves.
The Talent Hunt had 3
rounds of auditions, which involved scouting for the best from a massive
artistry pool of 1.2 lakh BMC and Slum school children across Mumbai.
For Round 1, a total of 6000
students were identified to participate and upload their recorded audios or
entries on the servers provided to these respective schools. 527
students out of 6000 participants were selected for the second round.
In round two, 54
students were selected by the board of evaluators appointed by Divyaj Foundation.
These 54 students selected in
round 2 were further evaluated in round 3
and subsequently the finest 18 gems have been
selected to perform against each other at the grand finale which will be judged
by renowned people from the musical fraternity.
These eighteen students are now undergoing 3
months special musical training and grooming session in Mumbai, under the
guidance of professionals – Shankar Mahadevan Academy for vocal training,
holistic fitness training by Mickey Mehta, mental health training from Mpower
and other trainings to prepare them for the grand finale where they will get a
chance to perform on stage with renowned artists of the music industry.
The Foundation will be honing, polishing and
presenting these 18 contestants to the global audience by providing
them a platform to perform and giving them an opportunity to showcase their
talent to the world.
Speaking on the occasion, Mrs. Amruta Fadnavis
said “These children have the talent, they have the fire in the belly, desire
to excel but they lack resources which we will provide them and help them to
realize their dreams”.
