Umang Parivar
Umang would not have been able to make such a long journey if we did not have the support of friends, relatives, parents, old students and others who joined in and helped whole heartedly financially, organizationally, artistically whenever and for however long as they could.
Umang parivar can also boast of the association of some of the most eminent artsists and writers of the country who came and spent time with our children by sharing their experiences, teaching them some skills or watching their performances and distributing certificates to them. These include Pandit Birju Maharaj, Ustad Amjad ali Khan, Yamini Krishnamurti, BV Karanth, Kavalam Narayan Panikkar, Saran Rani Mathur, Sumitra Charatram, Sushma seth, Neelam Mansingh Chowdhery, Bhavesh Sanyal, Anuradha Kapur, Barry John and Uttara Baokar among others.
