turn of the TCF schools and among the many they sang was a jazzy, toe-tapping Punjabi folk song, “Bale bale bai tor Punjaban di”. It must have been really heart warming, especially for music lovers to see the budding musical talent, the tremendous musical potential that lies in our young people, waiting to be explored.
Another highly promising aspect was that all the songs were Pakistani, something aimed at instilling patriotic fervour among the youngsters.
Talking about the TCS Schools, Mushtaq Chappra said, “We have changed the mindset of the country. There’s tremendous talent that lies hidden here. Girls from our schools are going to the best universities, both here and overseas. A boy from an underprivileged family in Khyber-Pukhtoonkhwa was enabled by the foundation to go to the University of Boston in the US.”
The Citizens’ Foundation (TCF) is a professionally managed non-profit organisation set up in 1995 by a group of concerned citizens to give impetus to education. Currently, it is one of the country’s leading organisations in the field of education. By 2015, it had set up 1060 purpose-built schools nationwide with an enrolment of 165,000 students. It maintains a 50 percent male-female ratio on its campuses.
Among many annual features is Obhartay Sitaray, an inter-schools vocal contest meant to scout talent. Ayesha Hussain hosted the programme.
