I feel very happy and proud to collaborate with Vishwakarma University in association with Lakshminarayana Global Centre of Excellence to offer higher education in music with a global approach. Kavita & I feel privileged to be the founders, mentors and knowledge partners of the B.A.Hons, M.A & Ph.D in a music degree program at VU. This is a unique global music degree program where students focus on learning different streams like Hindustani music, Carnatic music, Percussion and Western music as classical art forms while getting exposed to subjects like sound engineering, digital marketing, event management, global music etc., which leads to many opportunities for the students in the music industry. This degree program has been designed by us as specialized music education, with a vision to combine the best of the traditional Gurukul system of learning music with the modern college education system so the students can undergo rigorous training to become great musicians if they work hard passionately in that direction and also find opportunities to establish themselves as professionals in the field of music.
