About Kalkeri Sangeet Vidyala

".........The time spent at KSV changed their vision of themselves and the scale of their dreams. They developed aspirations that were foreign to them before their arrival at the school."

These lines from the description of Kalkeri Sangeet Vidyalaya summarizes the profound life- changing effect of the school on children from backgrounds that did not permit them the luxury of dreaming.

Set amidst beautiful green rolling hills and idyllic village scenes, this unique school follows the Indian tradition of Gurukula. Rural children from poor and tribal families stay at the school and learn Hindustani Classical music, regular academic subjects, and yoga. And also the most important fact that they have as much right to happiness and progress as anyone else.

An initiative of the Kalkeri Sangeet Vidyalaya Trust, the school sees volunteers from across the world come, stay, and teach music and academic subjects to the children.

A place full of pleasant surprises, you have to see it to believe it. Come visit us!
