The legendary musician Tansen also belonged to Gwalior and became one of the nine jewels of Emperor Akbar’s Court. Tansen innovated many complex and beautiful ‘Ragas’.

In last few years hundreds of painters and sculptors have visited ITM Campus and participated in various creative camps, symposiums and workshops.

The city of Gwalior and ITM University – A Symbiosis “...the city boasts of a large number of educational institutions and ITM University is perhaps the largest among them. The sprawling campus invariably impresses any visitor. But to me more impressive is the fact that while this institution endeavors to impart world class education, it has also spent equal amount of effort, attention and care to preserve, propagate and advance further the rich musical traditions of Gwalior heritage.

I happened to attend three of the musical feasts that the institution organizes every year and briefest I can say the whole experience was ‘sheer bliss’. The NAAD amphitheater surrounded by small hillocks, designed and set among the natural surroundings and fitted with high quality light and sound equipments, perhaps is the right place for any competent musician to perform and exhibit his talent.

36 Jasraj Joshi in live concert at the campus. During the festivals that I attended from 2007 till 2010. I got, each time in three days the best of the Indian music that I could dream of. What it did not contain? The best of the singers Ustad Rahim Fahimuddin Khan Dagar, Pandit Ajay Pohankar, Pandit Chhannu Lal Mishra, Girija Devi, Ustaad Rashid Khan, Pt. Rajan & Sajan Mishra to name few. The best of the instrumentalists Ronu Mujumdar, Pandit D K Datar, Ustad Sultan Khan, Ustad Shujat Hussain Khan, Niladri Kumar, Pt. Shiv Kumar Sharma & Kala Ramnath where could I get all of them at one place, against no expenses and with all the facilities. The scene when it is dark all around open sky above, green around and the illuminated dias sends you back on the time machine 100 years or more. It really feels that you are back to the ancient times when music and life were synonymous.

This made me have a glimpse into the wisdom, foresight and concern of the people behind this institution. It is not sufficient to train in science, engineering, management and the like, to make a complete human being that very essential input of art, culture, heritage is so much necessary. I wish other educational institutions could copy it...” (writes Dr. Arvind Dubey a music lover of Gwalior).

Dr. Palash Sen of Euphoria. Arijit Singh recently performed in the campus. 37 Art at ITMU For more than ten years. ITMU has been regularly organising painter’s camps, month long international sculptor’s symposiums, classical concerts. music fests, dance and poetry events, literary meets, and the list remains never ending. This has created a huge aesthetic and literary asset, which is unique in the whole country, and perhaps in the continent. We have also become the largest collector of fine arts among any university/Institute of individuals in India. Every ITM student takes pride in this unique and evolving heritage of the University. Barring a few, all modern and contemporary indian artists have contributed to our endeavoursr through their creative expressions. The campus sees the best of paintings, sculptures, and motifs, apart from the musings of the best poets and musicians.

Consequently, a sense of ownership and a fine sensibility has developed in students, who have not only learnt to admire these gifts of art, but to inculcate a protective fervour, making sure no one vandalises it. The names of the creative artists who have visited the university would form a never ending list. The campus is as good as an art exhibition, as the best of art is permanently exhibited here.

97 Agriculture

Agriculture is the main source of livelihood for over 80% of the rural people in India. Although it employs about 52% of the labour force, it contributes to only 14.5% of GDP and 10.23% of all exports. Rural women, who constitute 30% of the agricultural work force, are amongst the least paid workers. Any effort of poverty reduction and economic development must address the problem being faced by the agricultural sector and turn the challenges into economic opportunities for the poor.

Agriculture has important role in driving national economy achievement unparallel in the history of world agriculture. as 55% population is still dependent on Agriculture as Similar enhancement in production of milk, fish, oilseeds it provides raw materials to many industries.
