Pandit Ajoy Chakrabarty is one of the most respected figures among all other renowned Indian Classical Vocalist. But he did not stop there at this point for his own fame and name only. He believes man cannot live alone in society, and what man gains through his experiences and journey in life, should share and particularly pass on to his next generation.Pandit Ajoy Chakrabarty, therefore, had thought of posterity, and had created a scientific process of ‘musical relay’, to keep the tradition of Indian Music intact.
