Laughing in the rhythm workshop

Music Basti believes in music for community building and development. The program focuses on children-at-risk and urban youth through creating participative music education and exposure programs, and life-skills development to create and reinforce in children self-confidence, inclusion, participation, expression and fuller realization of their rights. Programs actively involve youth and artists communities in the processes of consultation, creation, implementation and evaluation.

Music Basti’s programs are managed and administered by Integrated Development Education Association (IDEA), an Indian non-governmental organization working for the empowerment of the powerless especially dalits, women and children, and differently gifted persons, with registration in 1991 under the Societies Registration Act (XXI of 1860).
