We welcome CSR partnerships and individual contributions to support fieldwork, recording and archiving.
Corporate partners can support Sangeetcar under Schedule VII of the Companies Act, 2013 — which recognises protection of national heritage, art and culture, including traditional arts, as an eligible CSR activity.
Partnering with Sangeetcar means supporting a model grounded in long-term artist relationships and a growing public archive — not one-off events. Support can go toward specific workstreams: audio archiving, academic research, the digital archive platform, or a partner-named documentation project, each with defined outcomes and reporting.
We welcome conversations with CSR teams, foundations and philanthropic partners who want to help safeguard India's living folk-music heritage.
Become a CSR PartnerIndividual contributions fund the everyday work — fieldwork, recording, archiving — from travel to remote villages, to the studio time needed to preserve a single repertoire before it's lost.
Every contribution, however modest, helps a hereditary musician's knowledge reach the next generation, and the audiences who can carry it further.
A single field session — travel, power, crew and payment to the artist — keeps one more piece of oral history from disappearing. Every contribution is routed through The Centre for Rural Art and Folk Tradition.
