The power-packed music directors & singer of Bollywood Industry, the Meet Bros are again all set to keep stage on fire by their latest peppy track ‘Nachdi Firaangi’.

While launching the brand new music label ‘MB Music’ with their latest track ‘Nachdi Firaangi’, the Meet Bros also interacted with media peeps and shared the uniqueness of their party number. As the first ever single track is featured under the label of ‘MB Music’, sung by Meet Bros & Kanika Kapoor and it’s the very first time they are together for a single apart from a Bollywood song. The song is packed with clubbing elements and video also featuring the moves of gorgeous Elli EvrRam.
Well, talking about the same, Manmeet stated, “this song is special and unique for us because it’s not for a film, this song is for everyone. It holds dependent music.” Talking about the idea of the song, he said, “One day Kanika came to our studio, she scold us like an elder sister and charged us to make this single, our first single apart from film, she motivated and charged us, then on the same night within one hour we prepared ‘Nachdi Firaangi’. We called Kanika and shared our song and we started working together for the same.” On the other hand Harmeet added, “All the girls who wanna dance, and groove on our latest single can make their videos and forward it to us, we will select one of the best video and when it will get viral, its earning will also be shared with them. So guys keep pouring your videos of ‘Nachdi Firaangi’, this song is just for you all.”
Whereas, Kanika said, “Me and meet Bros are family, we have different equation, I feel highly comfortable and confident while working with them as in studio I can sing openly without any fear in front of them, and we have a great bond.” And, talking about her experience, working in the song Elli EvrRam in Punjabi said ‘Menu Bohot Maza aya.’ Further she added, “It was a wonderful experience, definitely I would love to work again with them. When I got this offer I was so happy and I was happier when I got to know that Kanika Kapoor is also a part of this project, it was really a great time with them all.”

The FIBA Asia Quest 3×3 – India Qualifiers is a first of its kind FIBA 3×3 event organised under the aegis of the Basketball Federation of India featuring 12 city-based teams in two categories (men and women) representing BFI’s affiliated units.
The winners and runners-up of the FIBA Asia Quest 3×3 – India Qualifiers will represent India at the South Asian Basketball Association (FIBA Sub-Zone) Quest stop. The SABA Quest stop carries a prize money of USD 10,000 with the top teams going on to the Quest Final.
Speaking on the occasion, Basketball Federation of India president Mr. K Govindaraj, MLC said that the FIBA Asia Quest 3×3 – India Qualifiers was the ideal opportunity that the BFI was looking to tip off the FIBA 3×3 movement in India.
“FIBA 3×3 is a great concept is a boon for Indian basketball on many counts. It not only helps us widen the base for basketball thus increasing the popularity of basketball in India, but also is a fantastic opportunity to increase the number of the organisers for basketball events in India,” he said.
“The ultimate aim for BFI is to take the Indian team to the Olympic 3×3 competition.”
Explaining the process further Basketball Federation of India Secretary General Mr. Chander Mukhi Sharma said that the FIBA Asia Quest 3×3 – India Qualifiers is only tipping off of BFI’s long-term FIBA 3×3 project that ultimately targets making basketball a popular sport along with aiming for a place in the Olympics.
“BFI has chalked out a long-term FIBA 3×3 program with a competition structure that will involve more than 500 games across India every year. We do believe that the FIBA 3×3 is certainly the way forward and are certain that it will act as a catalyst in improving the standard of basketball along with increasing the popularity of the sport,” he said.
Games at the FIBA Asia Quest 3×3 – India Qualifiers are scheduled to tip off at 4 pm on Saturday June 23, 2018 and through the whole of Sunday at the Sree Kanteerava Stadium outdoor courts.
Members of the media are cordially invited to witness the proceedings and provide the necessary wide coverage to boost the BFI’s efforts in making basketball a household name.
Naresh — There is a catastrophe happening
Naresh —
There is a catastrophe happening at our southern border right now — and Trump’s executive order doesn’t end this humanitarian crisis.
Thousands of children have been torn from their parents and there is currently no clear plan to reunite the families that have been separated.
It is up to all of us to fight back against the Trump administration’s shameful treatment of children and families. Add your name to say you oppose their cruel separation of families at the border.
I’M IN
Thank you,
I’M IN
Thank you,

Talk on ‘The Crisis of Funds and the Woe of Wage Payment Delays in MGNREGA’
Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act, 2005 is a landmark law which guarantees 100 days of livelihood to rural households. Yet even after a decade of its implementation the Act faces serious challenges to its implementation. While Budget 2017 seemed to have significantly increased allocations to MGNREGA, the Act continues to face a crisis of funds resulting in low wage rates and consistent delay in the payment of wages to beneficiaries. Over the past few years, a team of researchers, including Rajendran, have been measuring the extent of this fund crisis and its impact on wage payments in 10 states. This discussion will share some of their main findings and highlight the reasons behind the delay of funds (including the dynamics between centre-state in determining wage rates), and the impact this will have on livelihood security in rural India.
Dr Rajendran Narayanan is an Assistant Professor in the School of Liberal Studies at Azim Premji University, Bangalore. He completed his Ph.D in mathematical statistics from Cornell University. He has held academic positions in Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata, Cornell University, and Ashoka University. Since his Ph.D, he has been an intrinsic member of LibTech India, an informal group of researchers and activists that work on questions of transparency and accountability in MGNREGA and the Public Distribution System. The group works with several civil society organisations in Jharkhand, Bihar, Telangana, and Andhra. As a group, LibTech India tries to understand rural citizen experience in times of technology mediated policy initiatives and aim to create bottom-up, people-driven, “Janata Information Systems (JIS)”. The group hopes that this will lead to continuous monitoring of government programmes, leading to more empowerment and better participatory democracy.
