The Maharashtra government has taken a significant step to honor the legacy of legendary singer Asha Bhosle by announcing the establishment of a premier music institute. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis revealed that this decision was made during a cabinet meeting. Asha Bhosle, who passed away recently, had envisioned the creation of this institute as a contribution to the music industry and had discussed it with state cultural affairs minister Ashish Shelar. The proposed institute is expected to be situated at Bandra Reclamation, near Rang Sharda Hotel, and aims to provide world-class music education to emerging talents. This initiative follows the earlier announcement of an international music college dedicated to another legendary singer, Lata Mangeshkar, which is set to be developed on a 7,000 square meter plot at the University of Mumbai's Kalina campus, with a budget of ₹210.50 crore (approximately $25 million USD).
