Swaranjali
Teacher-in-Charge : Dr. Rachna Sharma
President : Supavitra Mehrotra

Swaranjali - the Hans Raj Music Society has established quite a name in the University music circuit for many years now, and the last year (2010-2011) has been another phenomenal year for the society, with lots of new achievements. From the beginning of the year, be it IIT Kanpur, to the year-end Delhi University fests, Swaranjali has once again shown that it not only achieves benchmarks but also creates them afresh.

The year started with the ECA auditions where Hans Raj College selected 3 out of very many participants who had applied for the limited ECA seat. S. Aishwaryalaxmi (carnatic vocal) and Sagar Chawla (Western and Indian Classical Pianist) were selected. Out of very talented freshers who joined this year, the 12 best were selected to join the society.

To add colour to the picture the devotional stuti of Goddess Kali (originally composed by Music meastro Pandit Ajay Chakraborty and Suresh Wadekar) was added to the list of the society. "The composition chosen by us was the most difficult one, and at the same perhaps the most beautiful one too - and they sung it really well" said the judges at Ramjas College.

S. Aishwaryalaxmi came out with flying colours performing carnatic vocal and Prateek Narsimha swirled the audience with tappas and Indian classical compositions. The mood of the audience was further elevated by the light and Sufi music of Jasmeet Sagoo and Sonali Sen. To add the tinge of polychromasia, instrumental music by Sagar Chawla, Supavitra Mehratra and Yashu Joshi mesmerized the audience.

One of the major additions to Swaranjali this year was the PURPLE RAIN - the western music band of the society ... they performed in various colleges of Delhi University and even outside Delhi in NSIT, IIT Kanpur and at the Music Fest in Jaipur. The list includes songs by Led Zeppelin Maroon, 5 Korn Amy Lee and many more.

The society won 42 awards altogether. In the classical dance category, Ananksha Bhakoo, Kaveri Pathela, Ritika Agarwal and Mansi halder were at their best with sculpture and intricacies of dance. They had to their credits 12/11/11 awards. In all the efforts, the name of Sakshi Rawat, Barneli Das, Ishmeet Singh, Abhimanyu and Udipto Das are worth mentioning.

The President and Vice President of the Society introduced various reforms to the administration of the society and brought to the doorstep of the society various new avenues to expand its creative horizons. Most importantly, it was the support of our principal Dr. V.K. Kawatra and our ECA convenor Dr. Rachna Sharma that helped us bring our aspirations and dreams come to reality.
