Any social movement thrives on a message that makes people aware and spurs them to act. Awareness needs a vehicle, to spread. When you choose a song as that vehicle, awareness can ride far. Songs appeal to the heart. When a song calls out people to act, the message strikes a chord.
The Shankar Mahadevan Academy Trust runs contests from time to time to find good lyricists, talented singers and musicians. The contest winners then come together to produce music videos that spread social awareness around causes that need mass attention.
As part of Social Programs, Shankar Mahadevan Academy has a tradition of producing one song every year on social causes. For 2019, we chose “In It to Win It” as the social-cause theme – a theme that will allow us to extend support to those affected by cancer.
Imagine no violence; where arms are raised only to extend help to people in need. And no terror too. Let all communities live in harmony.
Put a bolt on child labour. And open the doors to learning. Would you make your kids earn when they should learn – or just be kids? Why should it be different for any kid?
Cleanliness has a sweeping effect. You only have to keep your backyard clean. And over time the entire country will become clean. It’s all in our hands.
Ability takes many forms based on how has Nature endowed us. That variety is what makes life beautiful. If we are open-hearted, there’s much we can learn from each other.
Another version of Garv Se Jiyenge, featuring sign language and subtitles.
Schools shape our minds, prepare us for a larger school – Life. This song propagates the message – school education for all children from all walks of life.
A call to end discrimination against the girl child. A girl, with her affectionate presence, is the very essence of humanity.
I will not give into corruption. Every change I want to see will start with me doing it. Let’s dispel darkness from our lives.
