Pandit Puttaraj Gawai Trust(R) for disabled was started in 2003 by visually impaired Vidwan Deva Reddy N Chinchali. Deva Reddy met 2 blind girls in 2003 who were struggling to learn music. He wanted to help them as he was a musician. He was the disciple of Late Pandit Puttaraj Gawai(Musician).
He approached Shri Puttaraj Gawai who is also visually impaired & seeked his blessing to start music school for visually impaired poor girls & got the permission only with condition that the education would be imparted free of cost. With the aim to give musical education for poor blind girls ,he started a music school in small single room in the year 2003.
Vidwan N Chinchali work's at Govt.Girls Junior college at Basavanagudi, Bangalore. With his meagre salary and earnings from music tutorials, he started & maintained all the needs of the residential school. His concerts with the blind students touched the hearts of many who had generously helped this cause & slowly the school grew.
Today it has 25 students and it has a vision to impart musical education to visionless girls & the school is posed for great growth & noble work.
