Seniors create world record with 75-hour nonstop singing

1 2 Nagpur: In an awe-inspiring display of dedication and endurance, a group of spirited senior citizens from Nagpur and across Vidarbha shattered a world record by singing nonstop for 75 hours. They broke the earlier mark of 29 hours set by a Gujarat-based senior singers' group in 2018. This musical marathon , a first-of-its-kind feat by the Manish Patil Foundation , was held at Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar Convention Centre on Kamptee Road and ran uninterrupted from April 19 to 22. It was organised in celebration of Dr BR Ambedkar's birth anniversary and themed around 'Hamara Samvidhan, Hamara Swabhimaan'. The event wasn't just about singing — it was a celebration of resilience, unity, and patriotic pride. Founder and organiser Manish Patil explained, "We chose this year for the attempt because India is in its Amrit Kaal. What better way to celebrate this milestone than through a 75-hour tribute by our senior citizens to the values of our Constitution?" Patil emphasised that the record-breaking feat was an emotional high for everyone involved. "This record was earlier held by a group in Gujarat, where they sang for 29 hours in 2018. This time, our singers kept the spirit alive for a full 75 hours. The oldest participant was 84 years old — that speaks volumes about their commitment and strength," he added.
