As he has also created a distinct identity of India abroad, we are launching an International Swarabhaskar Bhimsen Joshi Fellowship of Rs 1.5 lakh for foreign students who want to come to India and learn Indian music. He made his mark in the minds of fans through his ragas and awakened the love for music in them. He was very experimental and maintained the quality of music. Sahasrabuddhe said, “Panditji lived his whole life for music and he handled the grammar of classical music in a way that the general public would understand. On the occasion of his birth centenary celebrations, AIR’s concerts will be now known as ‘Bharat Ratna Pt. We would want to make all the musical treasures of such artists, which are currently on Doordarshan and AIR available to all audiences on television and radio.

Since I live near his house in Rambagh Colony, I was lucky to listen to his rehearsals 2-4 times. Javadekar said, “Panditji is the last word in music. His and Lata Mangeshkar’s names will live forever.” During his Geetaramayana & ‘Abhangvani’, everyone in the household would leave all chores and would gather around the radio. There was no television during those times but his music reached homes through the radio. I had the opportunity to hear Panditji's concert at the residence of senior leader, former chief minister Yashwantrao Chavan and the prominence of his personality was always felt. Today’s youth should get inspired by Panditji’s contribution to music. Panditji always encouraged new artistes through Sawai Gandharva Music Festival and I am happy that that tradition is still alive today. Pawar said, “If it wasn’t for the Covid-19 pandemic, we would have seen this event in a different light today.
