AIR Rising Stars is open to musical artists of which age group?

  1. A.Below 25 years of age
  2. B.Below 30 years of age
  3. C.Below 35 years of age
  4. D.Any age, with no limit

Correct answer

B. Below 30 years of age

Explanation

The correct answer is below 30 years of age. AIR Rising Stars is a series of concerts performed exclusively by young artists who have not crossed thirty. Preference goes to the young graded artists of Akashvani, and only when a station finds no suitable graded artist in a particular category may it select a deserving ungraded young artist, subject to the prescribed guidelines. Option A is wrong because the cut-off is thirty, not twenty-five. Option C is wrong for the same reason, as thirty-five would let in performers the series is not meant for. Option D is wrong because the age limit is the very point of the initiative: senior performers of Top Grade and A Grade already have the Akashvani Sangeet Sammelan, which has completed 67 editions, while this new series was created precisely because young graded artists had few such platforms. The age bar therefore separates the two series from each other.
