Social Issues around the Girl Child [Lyrics Contest - Part II]

 

The Shankar Mahadevan Academy mission is “Joy of Music” and to propagate that, it plans to initiate social awareness around life and potentially various issues from time to time, using inspiring music. This program is being initiated to make us all aware of music in our lives and how inspiring music brings about awareness and joy of day to day life and associated issues. The program will continue to explore issues ranging from education to poverty to issues around a girl child and other issues that plague our country and the world at large.

Here’s a golden chance to get Shankar Mahadevan to sing lyrics penned by you!

Enter our “Social Issues around the girl child” Lyrics contest and write a song that speaks about it. Make it happy and inspiring for people to enjoy.

Incorporate the chorus line Hamari Laadli Laayi Bahaar” (हमारी लाडली लायी बहार) in the lyrics you pen, and your song stands a chance to become the next big hit number.

The song will be sung by Shankar & team, and will be produced by the Shankar Mahadevan Academy. The song will be made available to one and all through social media. Send us your lyrics before the 19th of September to take part in this competition. The winner also gets a free self-study course from the Academy.
