The Academy has always had the longer vision of reaching out to the less privileged members of the society with a view to introducing them to the glories of Indian classical music. And with this purpose in mind, it has initiated ‘Project Prakash” with the underprivileged students of some schools for last few years. The Academy’s aim is not only to facilitate the accessibility of the music world for them but also to nurture their musical potential in a way, so that they can pursue music for both pleasure and professional success too.
At presenent, Dhwani Academy is involved with musial activities in Disha Foundation, South Kolkata.
The Academy already initiated and did music lessons with the students of the following schools:
- Rebecca School, Howrah
- Kamakhya Balak Ashram, Madhyamgram
- Hamari Muskan, North Kolkata
- Help Us Help Them , Central Kolkata
Apart from underprivileged children, other children from normal schools, who are not so awake to the fine pleasures of Indian classical music, are also brought within the purview of this project. The Academy has already included Orient Day School in its project as part of its music awareness programme and has been conducting music classes on schedule for class 1 to class 9. The school authorities have included music into their regular curriculum. Besides that the Academy also runs regular classes at its own premises. Other similar schools are being negotiated with for similar inclusion.
