According to Col R C Chadha President of Global Cultural Foundation, this idea came to his mind in the mid of year 2017 and under the discussion with members of GCF the performa was decided. Ultimately we finalized the audition date with the consultation of great singer Lily Singh who heads Ramneek Arts a very dedicated music training centre.
He said that the idea behind this event was to provide a platform for the new emerging singers of every age group. The singers of 16 to any age were allowed to participate and prove their talent in singing. We got huge response and finally the audition began on 28 th of January 2018. During the two day audition more than 90 singers of various age group were selected. It was very difficult to shortlist for Semi final as all were of same passion and enthusiasm, were doing well during training period. 
Speaking with Thepublicworld.Com , News Portal , Lily Singh a very melodious singer and head of Ramneek Arts said that all were very good singer but not familiar with orchestra. Hence we focused and did hard work to give them a sense of singing with orchestra and all musical instruments. Coordination between notes and instruments were lacking, but our effort did well. She said that Col R C Chadha tried to inject self confidence and the result was remarkable. All shortlisted candidates were divided into two groups according to their age . The first group was between 16 to 50 years and the second was between 51 to ongoing . Only 18 singers got their selection in the Semi final organised on 14th February in Richmond Community Centre, Gurugram among which one female was withdrawn herself.
The talent hunt organised by two singing groups of Gurgaon provided a platform to all budding singers who are keen and exploring the possibility in the field of singing . Ramneek arts and Global Cultural Foundation gave effective training and incorporated them very precious knowledge of how to sing professionally .
Finally 17 singers came to the final platform to exhibit themselves in two groups. Indeed the fight was very tough. Some of the female singers had neck to neck fight and the judge were compelled to announce two winners for each group as they got tie in marks . Reena Dhankar and Jyoti Singha in Group -I and Vinod Ramani and Shiv Choudhary in Group -II were announced as winners where Suman Chawla, R P singh and Rohini Choudhary got the place of Runners Up. “Ai Pyaar Teri Baali Umar ko Salam” song, sung by Rina got huge applaud by the audience on the other hand “Kanton se Kheech Ke Aanchal” song by Jyoti Sinha pushed all senior citizens towards their young sweet memory. The auditorium echoed with the beats of yesteryears melodies and the songs took the members back in time .
Speaking about the initiative Dr Ramesh Nautiyal who has been a participant of Sa Re Ga Ma reality show said, “I have judged so many competitions where youngsters explore their talent but this was one of its kind where people of all ages have exhibited their talent. I have shared the platform of GCF in the past too and this had been a beautiful experience.”
