Plight of T.A.W.F. Except for very prompt reply and commitment from vgovindan Sir, the response is not at all encouraging. I intend to keep this open for another seven days, with hope. If the response is abysmally poor, T.A.W.F. will be withdrawn, with regrets.

Since there is one more thread on this subject (where a moderator has in detail specified the plan), I wasn't sure where I should pledge our contribution. Hope all threads become one, and do not make folks wonder, like I do.

VK,
Please elaborate on this and let us know how the checks should be written and where they should be sent. Thanks.

Here is the link to the previous discussion: http://www.rasikas.org/forums/viewtopic. ... 37#p266637

The procedure I outlined in that link is reproduced below for convenience. Let us first get an idea on the level of interest members show towards this effort.

1) Provide a way for members to contribute.

2) Let us keep the round 1 goal as Rs. 50,000.00.

3) Simultaneously, let members propose here who are the artists and/or their families who are in dire straights that we want to help. Let us keep a modest goal of 5.

4) Distribute Rs. 10,000.00 to them.

5) Wash, rinse and repeat.

Notes:
a) Do not post details like Postal address, bank account number etc for contribution. Those who are interested can get it from you by email.

b) Rs. 50,000 is not much and given the number of generous members and artists amongst us, we should be able to easily meet this and beat this by a considerable margin. Keep anything above Rs.50,000 for round 2

c) Though this is a modest effort, let us strive to get some media coverage at the end of round 1 like in Hindu, Sruthi etc. that will help this to get a wider visibility and do bigger and better things.

d) As a way to gauge the level of interest for this Round 1, I request members to post in public or private their level of support. If you do not want to provide the exact number especially in public, just provide the level of your intended support:
A) Up to 999 B) 1000 to 4999 C) 5000 to 9999 and D) 10,000 or greater 0

First determination of the funds commitment from forunites. After the funds estimate is clear, select the organization e.g.Thyagaraja Vidwath Samajam, Chennai. Establish arrangement for the funds allocation and disbursal by the organization. Submit the statement of names of members and amount to the organization. Advise the members to send directly to the designated account by the organization.
Taking into consideration the inflation and costs, can we agree to a minimum amount of donation as INR 5,000 per individual and INR 10,000 per trust/foundation ?

hnbhagavan · Post by **hnbhagavan** » 21 Aug 2014, 20:40

In case you entrust the distribution to Sabha,It should be made clear that Tambura artists will be pad an additional amount apart from whatever sabha pays.The amount is not
to fill the Sabha Kitty,but is for distribution to the artists.
Based on the amount collected and the number of Tambura artists,the money to be paid to each one may be determined.Rasika forum can work in tandem with the sabha entrusted and ensure proper distribution.

munirao2001

munirao,
For you to say as 5000 per individual is certainly steep and will really dampen the spirit of their share. So far about 4 of us (VGV,arasi,rajeshnat and HNB)have volunteered to give money stating the amount. Let us have more time say a week, for others to volunteer what they are proposing to give. YOu can also state what is your amount. We can discuss the next steps after we get a roster count of contributing members and total contribution .

vasanthakokilam · Post by **vasanthakokilam** » 21 Aug 2014, 23:05

Some folks want to make their pledges known privately which is absolutely fine. I will just put their pledges down here to the extent the member wants to, so you all can gauge the level of commitment so far.

I have received a pledge for contribution from member Kedharam.
And from another member for a contribution at level B: Rs. 1000 to Rs.4999

Keep them coming.

Sri TM Krishna who has declared that he shares the concert remuneration equally among all the accompaniments.I think Tambura artists he brings are generally his students.
Prince Rama Verma is another artist who gives generously to his accompaniments.In earlier days It is well known that Sri MDR never used to fix his remuneration and generally
he would request organizers to take care of the accompaniments.
This fund i believe is for Tambura artists who are regular in the concert circuit.In case enough funds are collected,the scope can be widened to include Upa Pakavadyams also.

Dear Munirao,

I do not know how many forumites are interested in fund raising activity.I believe some are keeping it private and confidential according to Vasanthakokilam.

hnbhagavan · Post by **hnbhagavan** » 24 Aug 2014, 10:40

Dear Sri Munirao,

Let us enlist our forumite KSSR's help.KSSR being an organiser will be help us identify the Tambura artists who need help.
Meanwhile the entries have bben very few in number and it is doubtful whether the target of Rs50,000/can be met.

vasanthakokilam · Post by **vasanthakokilam** » 25 Aug 2014, 00:12

We are not that far from the Rs. 50,000. For now, Rs.15,000 pledge of support expressed through email and Rs. 20000 expressed here. (I am only counting VGV's contribution as Rs. 1000.00 though he would like to do that on a monthly basis.)

So keep it coming. I am hoping we will reach/exceed Rs. 50,000.00 soon. Please make it happen.

CRama · Post by **CRama** » 26 Aug 2014, 14:04

I will contribute Rs 2000 as my first inst.
But we have to do something really fast. Stretching beyond a time and waiting for formulation of big projects will take us no where as it has happened many times in the past. I suggest the following mode.
Let us constitute a working committee with 3 persons- I suggest Nageswaran, Muni Rao and RSachi.
This committee will discuss with musicians like Ravikiran, Narmadha, Radha Bhaskar, Neela Ramgopal and identify 5 Tambura artistes who may be in their old age and need some financial support.
A bank account will be opened by the Committee and give the account number in this forum. Interested persons can send money to that account.
The money so collected will be distributed to the Tambura artistes in Bangalore or Chennai by the Committee Members.
The entire exercise should be completed in 1-2 months.
Members may come with any other suggestions also.

hnbhagavan · Post by **hnbhagavan** » 27 Aug 2014, 08:39

Rama's suggestion is good one.Things should start with the Committee

I request Sri Munirao to coordinate and constitute the committee.The Rasikas can send the contribution when once the account formalities are done with.

munirao2001 · Post by **munirao2001** » 27 Aug 2014, 14:44

CRama
As I had suggested earlier, the funds to be given to the 'identified' and 'notified' beneficiaries by Thyagaraja Vidwath Samajam, Chennai; Karnataka Ganakala Parishat, Bengaluru; similar organizations of musicians in Thiruvananthapuram and Hyderabad. If such associations of musicians are not existing in Thiruvanantapuram and Hyderabad, the much respected Sabhas can be requested to do this service. Let us first arrive at the final amount committed by the forunites, with a last date.
I also would prefer, popular Great Maestros/Maestros coming together and conduct one fund raising event at each of the centers. The proceeds with rasikas.org contribution making substantial, it will meet the needs, much better. To make this happen, Sri Chitraveena Ravikiran , Sri Sashikiran's and Smt.Radha Bhaskar lead would be the best.

Munirao Sir, With due respects to you and appreciating your intention, such broadbasing of this initiative will not take us anywhere- as it has happened in the past in several issues.

hnbhagavan · Post by **hnbhagavan** » 27 Aug 2014, 19:32

Dear Sri Munirao,

The fund collection drive should be completed without mentioning any particular organisation for disbursement.

munirao2001 · Post by **munirao2001** » 28 Aug 2014, 18:32

CRama Sir
We are fortunate to have as forunites, Great Maestros/Maestros/Vidwans/Vidushees. Many of them are young, active and contributing. With their leadership, this task is not difficult. We should hear them, as they are closely related with Tambura artists/technicians.

hnbhagvan Sir

I have expressed that it would be better to trust the musicians managed organizations and I have named two of them. The members who have contributed can arrive at the consensus, decide and act.

munirao2001

hnbhagavan · Post by **hnbhagavan** » 28 Aug 2014, 21:16

Dear Sri Munirao,

I feel in Bangalore,well known organisations are:

bangalore Gayana Samaja
Sriram Lalitha Sangha
Nadasurabi,Koramangala

There are others,but these would be sufficient.

Similarly in Chennai,you have identified some i Suppose,but Rasikas/Musicians who are in the forum can be consulted.
Professional Tambura players are very less.

Though we can identify many organisations,It would be better to have a single window system for clearing any application for funds.The single window system shold comprise of only Rasika Forum members.Better to establish an on line portal to post applications for funds.This online portal may be given publicity through the Sabhas identified.
There should also be some provision for getting manual applications as per a predetermined format.The final sanction will be approved by the Rasika forum Committee.
The Sabha services are enlisted only for providing publicity to our venture.
Experts in Rasika forum (system administrator) should set up the website.

chitravina ravikiran · Post by **chitravina ravikiran** » 03 Sep 2014, 06:18

I will be happy to support this with an initial contribution of Rs 10,000. But more than that, I am keen that this be made into a foolproof sustainable initiative. Based on my past experience in this area, it is not very difficult.

1. As some of you may recall, I had set up the "Musicians' Benevolent Fund (MBF) in 1994 with precisely similar goals across the field with Shri Semmangudi as its President, through my not-for-profit Foundation.

http://ifcm.ravikiranmusic.com/projects.htm

2. Even then, it was not difficult for us to give awards from Rs 100,000-300,000 for great contributors like Tanjavur Shankara Iyer, Calcutta Krishnamurthy, Shri Vairamangalam Lakshminarayanan, Vidwan Srirangam Krishnamurthy Rao etc.

3. The MBF received immense support from those like Shri T T Vasu, Mr N Ram (The Hindu), Mr Guhan (Financial Advisor to Govt of TN then) and others.

4. Given these, I think we can easily raise a few lakhs for TAWF through a suitable non-profit org if:

(a) Even a few rasika.org members can get funding from Corporates that they are associated with.

(b) A few charity concerts are organised involving top artistes in various cities. Typically, many artistes will be happy to play such concerts at less than their usual terms. Many charity events have shown that even after paying the performers, there would be healthy surplus funds which can be channeled back into the project.

5. The actual work starts after the funds are raised - administering them efficiently, seamlessly. I am sure a committee can be formed amongst members here to take care of that or collaborate with reputed orgs.

munirao2001 · Post by **munirao2001** » 03 Sep 2014, 10:47

Sri Chitraveena Ravikiran,

I am extremely happy with your advise, commitment and suggestion for the action plan. With your leadership, organization already established, serving the noble cause, I feel there is no need for creating a new organization. You have made it easy and simple. If you accept, all the members can transfer the funds to your MBF, under 'TAWF' cause.This fund of Rs.50,000/- as the seed, can be used for organizing the benefit fund with rasikas, musicians and patrons joining and contributing. Taking the help of 'The Hindu' as a media partner, necessary publicity can be arranged. Benefit concert can be organized with event sponsors. If this is planned in the month of November'2014, the success will be higher with genuine rasikas present in Chennai for the December'14 music festivals.
With your leadership, you assign us the duties and responsibilities. Forunites will be too glad to volunteer. Together, let us prove the skeptics wrong and set example of all the stakeholders of Carnatic Music-rasikas;musicians;event managers;media;institutions-private, public and Governments, coming together and serve the cause. With proven success at Chennai, this can be planned in all the other centers of Carnatic Music appreciation.
Keenly awaiting for your decision and action plan.

Sri Munirao,

The idea of giving thro the benevolent fund already established by Sri Ravikiran may be activated through Sri ravikiran's cooperation.Please provide all the particulars for rasikas to send the contributions.However each application should be cleared by the single window committee of Rasikas and final pay pout can be thru the benevolent fund.
I request you to kindly speed up the procedure for contribution.

chitravina ravikiran · Post by **chitravina ravikiran** » 03 Sep 2014, 23:18

I would love to take this up through my foundation and do it but only hesitate because of my heavy professional commitments and travel over the next few months. Administering public monies is a task that needs to be done by reputed and experienced full-time organisers... Even the paper work to keep accounts, keeping track of latest non-profit laws etc requires time and man-power, which only specialized organisations normally have.

However, you can all count on my utmost cooperation in terms of whatever I can donate/inspire people to donate, through charity concerts!

munirao2001 · Post by **munirao2001** » 04 Sep 2014, 12:32

Forunites
Appreciating Sri Chitraveena Ravikiran's professional commitments and also his offer of services, let us plan as a rasikas.org initiative.
Action Plan
1. The final date for confirming the commitment of contribution 15th September, 2014.
2. Decision on the centers-Chennai;Bengaluru;Hyderabad;Tiruvananthapuram for the first intiative of RASIKAS.ORG-T.A.W.F.-2014 on or before 20th September,2014.
3. Constitution of 3.1.Mentor Committee-3members, preferably Senior Citizen members/members;3.2. Working Committee-3 members, young with experience or exposure to event management-for the each centers, decided - on or before 20th September,2014.
4. Mentor and Working Committee to take decision on the scope of the first initiative-Funds raising with charity concerts and rasikas.org members contribution or only the funds disbursement- on or before 25th September,2014.
5. If decision on additional funds collection by charity concerts is taken, Mentor and Working committee to finalize the plan for event management - on or before 30th September,2014.
6. Mentor and Working committee to target the month of November,2014 for completion of the first initiative-2014.
Administrators to propose the Mentor committee and Working Committee members and by consensus confirm the committee constitution and members.
As this idea was mainly by Sri V.Govindan and Sri H.N.Bhagvan, Sri Venkatakailasam they should be committee members. I offer my services, naturally, in Mentor committee if the consensus is arrived on my choice.
In the meanwhile, let us identify the patrons/sponsors, in our networks and get the feed back on the feasibility of support. Also talk to the Media-Visual and Print Executives for enlisting their support for reports and coverage.

I am from bangalore and shall assist you as per requirement.

Two levels, one for contributing with knowledge, skills sharing and advise on planning and one for actions, execution and implementation. Admin can take the decision after confirmation of forunites finally commit on the financial contribution. I desire that Senior Citizens members must be part of Mentor group(s) and younger members must be part of working group(s) for the best results. Sri Venkatachalam Sir on 16th September'14 check and advise on the final funds amount committed.

I request Admin.to send a simple appeal emails to all the members to actively participate in this initiative and contribute for the success of this initiative of rasikas.org. Also request members in Chennai/Bengaluru/Hyderabad/Tiruvanantapuram to confirm voluntary services in the successful conduct of this rasikas.org initiative.

SEND A GENERAL REQUEST FOR FUNDS

1. Online webpage highlighting what the fund is about.
2. online forms for donation.
3. Online form request for help(required once the funds are established)
4. bank Account number etc.
5.Names of responsible people.

I was expecting prompt reply from the admin and I am yet to get reply. As now it is purely the initiative of rasikas.org., after the deadline of 15th,September,2014 expires, the amount committed to be determined. If the admin does not want to get involved, as already posted, we should identify the musicians associations organizations, registered not-for-profit organizations. Discuss with them the process for transfer of the funds for this TAWF and work out the disbursal of funds by them.
With 7,200+members forunites, I expect better response and commitment.

forunites

I have send a draft for RASIKAS.ORG-T.A.W.F. APPEAL to [email protected]. I am posting the copy of the draft:

RASIKAS.ORG-T.A.W.F. APPEAL

Wishing you, the member and forunite, a Happy Dassera and Deepavali festivals and celebrations ahead.
Learning about the financial predicament of artists playing the Tambura, their need for assistance by the members of rasikas.org. like Sri V.Govindan, Sri H.N.Bhagvan, Sri Venkatachalam, Sri Chitraveen Ravikiran and few more members, an initiative for the collection of funds and assisting the needy artists is in the process. Sri Chitraveena Ravikiran and other members have already committed for contribution directly through their postings and also privately to Sri Venkatachalam.
If the Carnatic Music has to grow and appreciated globally, the artists are to be cared for by the rasikas. Artists of Tambura playing are paid very low remuneration/fees and they cannot make a living based on the income. They cannot meet any unforeseen expenses of health, education, marriage etc.
Please join Sri Chitraveena Ravikiran and other forunites in giving for the help and support of artists, Tambura players, generously and enjoy the act of giving and care. Please post your commitment amount in the T.A.W.F topic on or before 15th September, 2014.
A not-for-profit registered organization, preferably of Musicians will be selected and arrangements will be made for the transfer and payment. The target date for the payment is 15th November, 2014.
Thanking you in anticipation
ADMINISTRATION, RASIKAS.ORG.

Accepting donations for one's own betterment is something different.

But, collecting donations for distribution is not as simple as it is made out. There are rules and regulations governing such activities.

Firstly, there should be a formal entity - either a Trust or a Society. If a Trust is to be formed, it will be governed by the concerned State Act, or if there is no State Act, then by the Indian Trusts Act. If it is a society, it will be governed by the Societies Registration Act. Any contribution from outside India will be governed by the Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act.

The entity should be properly formed and registered and should function under the relevant State/Central laws. Mandatory periodical meetings should be held and periodical reports should be filed with the concerned authority. And proper books of accounts should be maintained and again periodical returns should be filed.

This is the reality. Establishing the entity and conducting it according to regulations may be difficult. Collecting donations will be easier. Maintenance of accounts, distribution of funds, and filing returns may also be difficult if there is no proper establishment.

Is there any other way?

Yes, one way is to donate directly to the deserving artist (as a few members are already doing).

The other one is to donate to an existing registered entity engaged in such activity.
(Providing information about such organisations may help individual members to take a decision.)

Pratyakshambala Sir

I am aware. I have suggested to select a no profit organization registered and existing and transfer directly to the organization with prior understanding and arrangement for the funds utilization for the identified cause. For e.g.Samudaya Foundation of Smt.Sudha Raghunathan.
I am keenly waiting to know the spirit and commitment from forunites for this cause and support of the admin

Dear Munirao,

There may be a different way to contact Admin.Otherwise Admin has to read all the messages to find out in case there is any message for admin.
I am also surprised at the cold response from forumites. I think all are interested in only free discussions.It was pointed out that the registration process will be cumbersome.In case we find commitment from forum,then you should plan for a tie up with a responsible organisation and they should this fund only for TAWA.

munirao2001 · Post by **munirao2001** » 09 Sep 2014, 16:04

Sri hnbhagvan Sir
I have sent email to admin with direct request. I have understood that with silence, they have conveyed that they do not want to play any role in this action.
On 16th, September'14 I shall request Sri Venkatakailasam to inform the amount committed. On reaching the consensus among the forunites who have committed, the organization shall be decided for the grants distribution. All the forunites will be given the details for the direct transfer of the funds with information to the assigned coordinator. Coordinator will ensure the objective is successfully met.

Secondly, in the above post, I assume you are you asking me to inform the amount committed, right? I think we will reach Rs. 50,000, the goal we started with.

I have been speaking to some of my Foundation's Exec Comm members and we are trying to see if a streamlined process can be established so that I will be able to offer the services of my foundation towards this, if required. Please bear with me for a couple of days!
