The organisation also believes in promoting the Indian arts beyond the Indian student and the institution itself has created fine non-Indian exponents of classical Indian music. Working actively with national arts programmes, the institution hosts the prestigious annual event; Festival of Indian Classical Music and Dance. With the government's recognition of the event as a national cultural event, the festival itself brings the best talents as well as budding artistes from all over the world especially India to showcase their abilities. Internationally reputed artistes perform in the world famous Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay.

Famous quotes containing the words major and/or events:
“A major power can afford a military debacle only when it looks like a political victory.”
—Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)
“This is certainly not the place for a discourse about what festivals are for. Discussions on this theme were plentiful during that phase of preparation and on the whole were fruitless. My experience is that discussion is fruitless. What sets forth and demonstrates is the sight of events in action, is living through these events and understanding them.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
