On the centenary birthday anniversary of Mohammed Rafi, Whistling Woods International launches The Mohd Rafi Music Scholarship to encourage young musicians to excel with the music legacy that Rafi has bequeathed for generations of musicians to emulate. The scholarship is awarded annually, initially at Cadence Music Festival 2025.

To commemorate the centenary birthday of Mohammed Rafi, Whistling Woods International and its chairman Subhash Ghai have made a grand announcement. They have established The Mohd Rafi Music Scholarship, a grand tribute to celebrate the life and work of one of India's greatest musical personalities.

This. scholarship will be an annual gift to a worthy student of the Whistling Woods School of Music, continuing the rich tradition of Rafi's service to Indian music. It is a link between the musical heritage of the past and the promise of the future and a testimony that Rafi's legacy lives on to inspire and guide future generations of musicians.

It is set to premiere on the 5th of May, 2025. It would be the crowning glory of Cadence Music Festival 2025 opening ceremonies. The celebration would otherwise be remembered with Shahid Mohammed Rafi, the son of the great singer, being present to see his father being honored. Subhash Ghai, describing the concept behind the scholarship, stated, "Rafi Sahab's music inspires generations. Through this scholarship, we want to inspire young talent that has the same passion and dedication towards music." This suggests that the aim is not just to honor Rafi's memory but to actually inspire future musicians who wish to leave their own imprint on the world like Rafi did.

The establishment of The Mohd Rafi Music Scholarship is not so much a gesture towards the past era of music; it's a continuous process at nurturing new talent in the Indian music industry. This action is a reminder that the legacy of the likes of such music legends as Rafi can be continued, inspiring and motivating the future generations of music legends.

In addition to bringing Rafi to life by retaining his memory through the scholarship, Subhash Ghai is also expecting great things from the future in his upcoming film 'Amaira.' Releasing on May 16th, the film has Sai Godbole, an alumnus of Whistling Woods International, along with Rajeshwari Sachdev and Ajinky Deo, showing the dedication of the school towards emerging the best in students. In brief, the launch of The Mohd Rafi Music Scholarship by Subhash Ghai and Whistling Woods International is a regal tribute to one of Indian music's legends. Although it is a tribute to Rafi's compositions eternally remembered, it equally provides wings to music's future musicians, and the musical talent legacy becomes ever more powerful.

Several students, who are studying abroad as part of the Maha Overseas Scholarship scheme, were hardhit by severe financial issues and hunger because of a holdup in releasing the scholarship amount. The two months' scholarship had still not been disbursed to the students, and they were barely surviving on food.

All such students who were doing higher studies abroad were depending on the scholarship for the rest of the living cost, fee payment, and other allowances. But due to the sudden unexpected shortage of funds, there was a holdup in releasing funds, hence, the situation was becoming very critical for them. It was mainly required of them to cut down discretionary expenditure like food items because of which they were complaining of hunger and malnutrition.

One of the students, who did not want to give her name, told us, "It's two months now that we didn't get money. We can hardly survive, and it's affecting our studies. We are concerned about our future and how we will survive."

The students have been approaching the authorities and asking them to take action on priority basis. However, none of their pleas have been attended to, and they remain helpless and frustrated. The delay in sanctioning funds not only impacted their financial condition but also their psychological condition.

The Maha Overseas Scholarship scheme is a plan that is implemented by the government with the objective to support the students who are pursuing their higher education abroad. The scheme offers scholarships to such students who are eligible in order to support them in further pursuing their studies. The recent delay in the transfer of funds has brought the efficiency of the scheme and government intentions towards their students into question.

The students now urge the authorities to act immediately to correct the situation. The government is being asked by the students to release the pending scholarship and ensure that such a delay never happens in the future again. The students will keep protesting until then, hoping their demands are heard and their financial issues resolved.

The long-awaited National Overseas Scholarship (NOS) 2025 has finally opened up its application, giving an Indian student a lifetime opportunity to pursue studies abroad further. The scholarship will be sponsored by the government and will give students who want to pursue postgraduate or doctorate studies in foreign universities and financially sponsor them so that they can avail better education.

The scholarship is aimed at empowering marginalized and underrepresented students to further pursue careers as varied as science and engineering, humanities and social sciences. This program avails dozens of students annually, using them as stepping stones for professional and academic achievements on the global scene.

Shortlisted candidates are asked to apply online with complete details regarding qualifications, documents needed, and deadline specified on the Mathrubhumi website. The general eligibility conditions generally include Indian nationality, satisfactory academic record, and proof of admission to a Government of India-approved foreign university. Scholarships provide allowance for the fee for tuition, maintenance allowance, and other allowances required for the course duration.

Experts recommend prospective applicants to prepare themselves well in advance as the selection process is highly competitive and conducted through multiple rounds such as screening of academic record, interview, and document verification.

Prospective students who want a career in foreign research or academia are recommended not to lose this opportunity.
