Hindi and Marathi film songs to classical songs and once more have
proved themselves of being great stage artists.

charity. All they need is support and an audience to appreciate their
talents. That is why we brought them to the city and have managed to
raise close to Rs 3.5 lakh for them through the in-house voluntary
contribution.” Prashant Ugemuge, Presedent, VCMDWA said, “The aim
of organizing this event was not just to raise funds for MSS, but
also to spread awareness and inspire other handicaps in our city.”
