ITC-SRA's call has been to inspire students with an inner sense of mission in music and to foster the creative exploration of this great genre of music through the Guru-Shishya Parampara. Our scholars have been chosen from all over the country after careful screening and they come to the Academy to fulfil the commitment to become a performing musician. Spurred on by a creative fervour, the metamorphosis begins at the feet of the guru as the mystery of a raga unfolds.

As part of the training process, each student is required to perform at the weekly Wednesday Recitals. The recital plays a pivotal role in the training of our scholars as it is aimed at moulding an artist as a performer. After a scholar matures in his or her art and performance skills, he or she is presented to the public through the ITC Sangeet Sammelans. 

Joyeeta Sanyal, who has been training under Pandit Manilal Nag since December 2005, performed at the ITC Sangeet Sammelan, Bangalore on February 17, 2008. She was accompanied by Samar Saha on tabla .
