About Svaram Musical Instruments & Research

Svaram Musical Instruments & Research was initiated in 2003 as a grassroots community development project in the field of musical instrument, craft, research, and socio-cultural development. Initially started as a vocational opportunity for youth at risk, it has been adopted by the UN initiative 'Music as a Global Resource' in 2011. Svaram finds international recognition for its pioneering work in applied studies into matter-sound-consciousness and models an exemplary approach to a participatory community enterprise. With a team of 43 artisans, trainees, and professionals, we manufacture a unique range of over 80 musical instruments and sound installations. Our cultural programs reach the local, national, and international arena.
