International Music College to be named after Lata Mangeshkar- Education News
After the demise of the iconic, Lata Mangeshkar, on Sunday following a multi-organ failure, a Mumbai college will be named after her. The proposed institution will be known as Bharat Ratna Lata Deenanath Mangeshkar International Music College, said Higher and Technical Education Minister Uday Samant.
He also said, “One-and-a-half years ago, my department decided to set up Master Deenanath Mangeshkar International Music College on land in Kalina, which belongs to Mumbai University. A committee was set up, of which Hridaynath Mangeshkar (Lata Mangeshkar’s brother) was made the chairman, while Usha Mangeshkar (her sister), Adinath Mangeshkar, Zakir Hussain, A R Rahman, Suresh Wadkar and several other personalities were its members.
A survey was also done under Lata didi. The process of land acquisition for the project took some time, he said, adding, “But unfortunately Lata didi passed away. During our meeting with her family members, they proposed that the college name should be changed to Bharat Ratna Lata Deenanath Mangeshkar as Deenanath Mangeshkar was her father and guru.”
