Imagine learning Kathak via a master class from maestro Pandit Birju Maharaj or attending one with Ustad Amjad Ali Khan. Sounds surreal, right? Well, it is not. School students across India not only attend these, but also take up learning modules on a host of topics from Indian art and culture – including Hindustani vocal, Carnatic vocal, Kathak, Bharatnatyam,
tabla, harmonium, sitar, flute, guitar, keyboard, yoga, theatre, Maths, brain development and Punjabi literature. All this because their schools are a part of Project Virsa.

Twenty-four-year old, Indore-born Palak Muchhal hails from a middle class family. Parents, Amita and Rajkumar Muchhal stumbled upon their daughter’s singing voice at a family celebration when she was all of three. Her rendition of a complex Lata Mangeshkar song took Palak’s mother by surprise, as reported in The Times Of India. From there on there was no looking back. Palak received training in Indian classical music, got her break on Little Stars, a television talent search show and is now a popular playback singer in Indian cinema.
