IPRS launches #KNOWYOURMUSIC campaign ahead of World Music Day
New Delhi: The Indian Performing Right Society Limited (IPRS) and Dolby Laboratories have come together ahead of the World Music Day on 21 June, to launch the #KNOWYOURMUSIC campaign highlighting multiple genres of Indian music and creating a more engaged audience.
The launch will commence with a panel discussion on 21 June at 5 pm with eminent personalities from the music industry including Turnkey Music & Publishing Pvt Ltd, managing director, Atul Churamani, music composer Shantanu Moitra, Veena Music Pvt Ltd, director, Hemjit Maloo, popular Indian folk musician Abha Hanjura and Anahad Foundation, founder-director, Abhinav Agarwal. The session will be moderated by lyricist, screenwriter and actor Mayur Puri.
Anahad Foundation, an NGO that works for the recognition, preservation, and evolution of Indian Folk Music has also come on board and as part of the initiative and IPRS will enrol over 100 folk artists, who are authors and composers as its member.
IPRS chairman, Javed Akhtar said the #KNOWYOURMUSIC campaign was launched to unfold India’s rich musical heritage and create a forum to initiate engagement with music. “Enriched over millennia, Indian music has always stood out by its vast cultural diversity. Music styles like Folk, Ghazal, Devotional, Instrumental, etc. have been presented by the music creators in unison to celebrate life, love, joy, loss, and the human condition. However, a vast number of today’s audiences have limited exposure and knowledge of these styles of music and their creators. It is time we purposefully indulge in music and help to build a community of a more engaged audience, thus fuelling a flourishing future for music and its creators,” said the noted lyricist.
IPRS CEO Rakesh Nigam said with this campaign, IPRS aims to initiate a transformation in the way people are consuming music, thus making music just not a passive consumption habit but a work of art and creation that the audience would take notice of and love to engage with. “Through the wide-ranging performances and sessions every month, IPRS looks forward to educating the audience on different styles of songs and music and the stories behind their creation. The more the audiences know about the music they are listening to, the more informed decisions they will make,” he added.

TLC launches ‘World On My Plate’ with Shipra Khanna
New travel-food series premieres 29 March at 7:00 PM.
MUMBAI: Shipra Khanna just packed her bags and her flavours because when a celebrated chef takes you on a global plate tour, even the couch starts feeling like first-class. Warner Bros. Discovery India has announced the launch of World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna, a new travel and food series set to premiere on TLC on 29 March at 7:00 PM. Hosted and curated by the popular chef and television personality, the show blends food, travel and culture through an intimate and immersive lens.
Across three visually rich episodes, Shipra journeys to global destinations to explore not just what people eat, but why they eat it, uncovering the stories, traditions and human connections behind every dish. The series opens in London, weaving its iconic landmarks with diverse culinary scenes, before moving to Spain’s vineyards, olive orchards and coastal kitchens.
Warner Bros. Discovery head of advertising revenues for South Asia Tanaz Mehta said: “At TLC, our focus has always been on bringing authentic stories that reflect how people live and connect. World On My Plate builds on this by using food as a lens to explore shared traditions across geographies. We’re excited to collaborate with Chef Shipra Khanna, whose perspective brings both depth and relatability to these narratives.”
Shipra Khanna added, “Food has always been my way of connecting with people and understanding cultures. With World On My Plate, I’ve had the opportunity to step into new worlds, learn from incredible individuals, and share stories that go far beyond the plate. This show is very special to me.”
The series promises strong visual storytelling, meaningful interactions and a fresh perspective on global cuisine celebrating flavours alongside the emotions and traditions that shape them.
In a world where travel shows often feel like distant postcards, Shipra Khanna is serving up something far more personal: a passport to cultures through their kitchens, proving that the best way to understand a place is still through the plate. Tune in to World On My Plate with Shipra Khanna starting 29 March at 7:00 PM on TLC.
