The Bhartiya Shastriya Sangeet textbook on music contains six volumes and is for secondary and higher secondary students who wish to pursue a career in music.

Rohit Rao, Joint President & Group Chief CSR Officer, Kotak Mahindra Bank said, “Kotak Mahindra Bank’s CSR ethos is based on Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam, which means the world is my family and our CSR Project for the visually impaired with The Blind Welfare Organisation is yet another step in the direction of supporting the visually impaired as family members (Kutumbakam) of planet earth (Vasudha). This CSR Project for the visually impaired is our sincere effort towards creating equal education & livelihood opportunities to enable them to lead a dignified and independent life.”

Over the years, under its CSR Project on education & livelihood, KMBL has been funding BWO’s various education initiatives such as purchase of laptops & desktops with voice recognition tools, developing, printing and distribution of Braille books etc.

These Braille text books open up a world of opportunity for the visually impaired students by helping them complete their education and pursue a career in their chosen field.
