Talking about the scholarship, Rahman said, \"Knowledge can change everything. These three going there and coming back with so much knowledge, not only in music, but culture and your minds will get opened. Hopefully they'll come back and make a difference.\"
Three students - one each from Assam , Uttarakhand and New Delhi - were awarded the A. R. Rahman Scholarship.
Berklee College had awarded Rahman a honorary doctorate in 2014.
\"I think it's a new beginning for many things to follow. I've always been wondering why is it so difficult to learn Western music here. So by this initiative many doors are going to open, many musical leaders being born who can put the knowledge of Western music and the whole infrastructure could even spread the Indian music to a wider extent. I hope it expands amazingly well,\" Rahman said at the event.
