Music maestro A.R. Rahman on Thursday presented three students scholarships named after him to study at the popular Berklee College of Music here.

"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," he said at the event.
