Less than 3% children in India’s public schools have systematic opportunities to know and learn any form of music
Since 2016, we are working towards creating a society with equitable music access and learning opportunities for children from the most marginalised communities.
What started as a weekend activity in 2016, has turned into a music movement which is directly impacting 3500+ children across 50 schools and community centres and providing sustainable livelihood opportunities to 200+ young artists!
We believe that all Indian traditional art forms are practising art forms – their practice and Sadhana helps us be more sensitive human beings and creates a strong foundation for a meaningful life.
