Contributing to Better Tomorrow through Free Music Education for Underprivileged

“Just as Jesus created wine from water, we humans are capable of transmuting emotion into music.”

- Carlos Santana

Music is an omnipotent entity that has the power to transform people. As such, it can change individuals and hence, it is capable to bring about changes across the society as well. An ideal society is the one where individuals – irrespective of their creed, colour and social status, etc. – have ample scopes of improving their living conditions by respectable means. In this context, the aspect of job generation attains significant position in contemporary India. Especially, with a huge population that multiplies itself at exponential rate, providing respectable livelihood to this huge volume of masses is undeniably challenging.   

There are scores of people in our country and to be more precise, in our beloved city of Kolkata who

·         Do not get two square meals a day

·         Are deprived of any medical attendance at times of sickness and

·         Lack a proper roof above their heads, etc.

In this severely poverty-stricken backdrop, free music education for underprivileged is an excellent way to serve the mankind. Social inequality is the prime factor the triggers insurgency. Providing music education for free to the downtrodden is an effective way to stem the disparity and restore consistency among different social groups.

As such, children from the marginal section of the society who grow up in acute adversities are known to suffer from low morale and sever isolation. As such, these children

·         Either turn recluse and turn towards various kinds of immoral addictions including drugs or,

·         Turn into criminals, committing heinous crimes

Extensive researches have revealed, early exposure to music and education is the most effective remedy to save these souls from practical annihilation. However, formal training in music – in particular – is pretty expensive affair.

Thankfully, there are many NGOs and renowned music schools that are providing a commendable service to the society in this context. These organizations – operating across the entire city – provide extensive musical training to underprivileged children around respective localities. This overall effort is undeniably an excellent way to contribute to a better tomorrow for everyone.
