The army of educators at Educomp has undertaken an onerous task of imparting futuristic education to GenNext with SmartClass. SmartClass is a comprehensive solution designed to assist teachers in meeting day to day classroom challenges and enhancing students’ academic performance with simple, practical & meaningful use of technology.

On July 19 of 2008, SmartClass presented an enchanting concert of light music by Dr. S. P. Balasubrahmanyam and his team at the Music Academy, Chennai.

Dr SPB, Ms S.P.Sailaja and Mr Y G Mahendra performed to a packed house of almost fifteen hundred people, including over two hundred school principals/educators who attended the concert along with their families.

Mr Arun Kumar Rath, Secretary, School Education and Literacy, Government of India was the chief guest.

Titled “Tune into Tomorrow”, the concert was a tribute to the dedicated school leaders and educators preparing our future generations to tune into tomorrow.

Magic Being Created

The evening began with a prelude. A high-level overview on the basics of music was presented, using a specially created capsule in SmartClass format. This was followed by a preview of the SmartClass program – a path breaking, innovative program from Educomp which has impacted over thousands of schools, teachers and millions of students bringing back the joy of learning through futuristic technologies and methodologies.

In tune with the spirit of the event, the music started with “Shankara”, an ode to the Guru. Amongst the mesmerizing numbers that were sung during the concert was the Hindi song “Tere Mere Beech Mein Kaisa Hai Ye Bandhan…”, specially sung by Dr SPB in response to a request from the chief guest, Sri Arun Rath.

Throughout the concert, the enthralled audience was also treated to rib tickling humor and repartee between the irrepressible duo of SPB & YGeeM who made gentle pot shots at contemporary film music and singers, including themselves.

In between songs and jokes, SPB also shared interesting anecdotes such as the experience he had with the late MGR [Former C.M. of Tamil Nadu] who postponed the shooting of a song so that SPB [who was unwell then] could sing it!!

The audiences were also privy to another anecdote of his about the thespian Shivaji Ganesan who adapted his own acting to the singing style of SPB so as to encourage the singer!!

In the closing words of SPB, the memorable concert came to an end.

It was a late Poornima night by the time the educators finally but reluctantly let him go.
