Current Status
We are currently in Phase 1. As you can see a basic technical structure is already in place. We are adding new content as regularly as we can. We need more hands to organise the data in the format we need for putting all information online.
Time required
Whether you want to devote 1 hour per day or 1 hour per week depends on your convenience. Contribute as much as you can. Every small contribution is welcome. Regular contribution will be highly appreciated.
Infra required
- A laptop / desktop or a mobile phone that can connect to the internet
- A decent internet / data connection
Skills required
- Ability to type in English and Hindi – We have content in English as well as in Hindi on this website. With phonetic keyboards available for Hindi, typing in Hindi is not difficult. For example, To get सा in Hindi, we need to type SA in English. We are always willing to give a small tutorial to our contributors for this. This can be done using a laptop/desktop as well as a mobile. However, a laptop/desktop will surely be much more convenient.
- Perfection in work – Organising data has quite a few nuances. A small error may change the meaning of the information provided. Perfection in work is absolutely essential.
- Basic knowledge of Indian classical music (Optional)
- Knowledge of very basic HTML (Optional)
Current requirement
As on today, we need help in following:
- Typing Raag Info in 2 languages (requires ability to type in English and Hindi)

Remuneration
Honestly, remuneration is NIL in terms of money for now. There are recurring expenses on tech infrastructure, website development, maintenance, etc. for this website which we have been incurring from our pockets. There is no revenue for now and we have not put even any advertisements.
Income and profits are not the purposes behind making this website. We will be satisfied if we manage to cover the expenses. Our remuneration as of now is in terms of satisfaction that we derive by making it easier for the next generation to learn the art.
We look forward to having you on board with us!
