Project “Propagate Indian Music Therapy” was launched in August 2019. The first leg of the project has the following initial focus:

Step 1 – Develop music therapy research papers/ books based on traditional Indian music (diverse approaches)
Step 2 – Seek support(including financial support) for developing and promoting research papers/ books from some foundations/ organizations/ agencies (henceforth referred to as external agencies)
Step 3 – Seek support to help collaborate with Indian Universities for the books to be part of the University music therapy programs so as to train more music therapists with Indian music knowledge, therapeutic elements, techniques, methodologies and art
Step 4 – To help promote quality experimental work with Indian music therapy approaches [with hospitals and healthcare centers]
