We’re thrilled to share that our work has been highlighted in EdexLive, the educational and cultural arm of The Times of India! The article “Rohan Manchanda: Championing India’s musical roots with Lokgharana” celebrates how our founder Rohan Manchanda and Lokgharana are reviving India’s classical and folk music traditions through innovative, community-driven efforts (EdexLive).

Rohan identified the scarcity of authentic music mentors and the rising disconnect with traditional art forms. Lokgharana emerged to fill this gap (EdexLive). - Four core pillars:
- Free sitar, tabla, and voice lessons for underprivileged learners (funded through Milaap campaigns)
- Workshops & recitals that help artists earn a living
- Digital archiving to preserve rare ragas, folk tunes, and teaching methods

- Impact & Vision:
- Dozens of students have already benefited from free training.

We are incredibly honored by this recognition. Being featured by EdexLive underscores our mission: to preserve and celebrate India’s musical heritage—one sitar, one tabla, one learner at a time. This spotlight encourages us to continue expanding Lokgharana’s reach, empowering both artists and aspiring musicians.
