DLF Foundation, a philanthropic arm of DLF Limited, has launched Junoon, its art and culture initiative, at Amphitheatre in Cyber Hub, Gurugram. The objective of the project is to provide a platform to budding artists to showcase their talent. It invites people of all age groups from across Delhi-NCR to showcase their talent in activities like music, dance, plays, theatre, laughter club activities, fashion show and the like.
On the occasion, Col. Prakash Tewari, Executive Director, CSR – DLF Ltd said: “We, at DLF Foundation, have always endeavored to encourage and nurture talent. There is a large untapped pool of talent in Delhi-NCR and this initiative will provide a unique platform to people to display their talent.”
In the first session, Junoon reminisced the 1960s with participants, Jyoti Sinha, Tuhina, Parth Dave, RC Chadha, and Lilly Singh, putting up scintillating performances that enthralled the audience.
