Chandra has been living with his maternal uncle and his family since his birth.  His uncle is a farmer and his uncle being the only financial support to his family, has to work very hard to fulfill the basic needs. He was born in Salyan and lost his father in a bike accident while her mother was carrying him in her womb. He is the only child her mother has but she also left when he was just 7. He has hardly seen her or talked to her since. Now, he has two younger brothers, his uncle's sons, and he says they are the closest to his heart. His interest in dance grew seeing the little brothers dancing and says he used to dance along. He has participated in various dance programs and was appreciated by many in his village. Besides, singing and dancing, he always maintains good academic report.

Chandra is a bright student with aim to be a qualified performer, choreographer and a dance teacher and wants to teach his brothers as well. He has very clear view of where he will take his life to and thus is happy to continue his study after District level exam in Nepal Sangeet Vidhyalaya (NSV). NSV finds him very sincere, hardworking and dedicated. Here he wants to study music (dance) and pursue higher studies in the same field.

Pradip belongs to Dalit community involved in playing music in various occasion like wedding processions, funeral etc. The famous Nepalese folk instrument 'Sarangi' is regarded as Gandharva community's basic instrument. His grandfather is a renowned Sarangi player in his village and also used to make Sarangi and used to sell them as well. His father followed the same footstep for a while but when the family grew with four children, his father had to quit the family business since it earned too little to feed so many mouths. Now, his father works in a small hotel in India and could only see him during festive holidays.

Pradip also plays sarangi along with his grandfather sometimes, but says he is more interested in singing. He has been singing since he was 8. He had also participated in many singing contests and interschool competitions organized in his village.

Nepal SangeetVidhyala (NSV), could not only help preserve this traditional folk instrument like Sarangi with the hands of these young lads but can also help to achieve their goal of becoming qualified musicians and ultimately contribute towards elevating music industry of Nepal. He very much believes that this first step towards his dream would lead to his goal of becoming qualified and successful singer. However, belonging to a family below poverty line and far from Kathmandu, he desperately needs financial support to continue his formal music studies at NSV.

A little girl from Gandharba community, Bhojpur Ms. Barta Gandharba reminds her audience of the old classic voice of Tara Devi and Anna Lama, two of Nepal legendary popular singer. Barta and her father used to travel to Sankhuwasabha (Tumlingtar) Diktel, Lukla, Namche Bazaar for earning.

All her life Barta has been living on scholarship and aid. Ms. Gandharba applied residential scholarship in Nepal Sangeet Vidhyalaya and she got selected. In NSV she got a chance to upgrade her sarangi lessons with renowned teacher and also got many more national & international exposures. From NSV, She has been sent as a music teacher to Faculty of Fine Arts, Music Department, University of Alder (UiA), Kristiansand Norway for 9 months under FK-Exchange program. There she taught Nepali traditional folk melody to the students of UiA and performed in many schools. She has also participated in a lot of recordings done by students and teachers at the faculty. Along with her classes in the school, she is also striving to obtain her college degree from Lalit Kala Campus.

Barta Gandharba is good in her profession but on the another hand she needs to learn more.

Raj being the youngest in the family, he has seen how his elder brothers struggled to pay bills and to help them he came to Kathmandu after completing District level exam in Banglung and worked in a restaurant for some time to support his family. His father and both of his brothers are working on wages and want their youngest brother to pursue his dream instead of ending up as them. Thus they insisted him to join NSV as he is very much interested in music and loves to sing.

Nepal SangeetVidhyala (NSV) gives best platform for him to continue his studies in formal music. But because he has no one in Kathmandu or to support him financially to join the school, he wonders if he'd be able to continue his higher studies in music here at NSV and be able to live up to his family's expectations.

NMC discovered her talent and is supporting her to realize her dream. She is 15 years old.
