About the Trust

Manollasini trust was instituted under the income service act, section 80 G, in 2006, with the sole intention of making music therapy an integral part of treatment and rehabilitation in medical, psychiatric and social settings in India.

It all started in 1988, when two stalwarts in Indian Classical Music Vidushi Dr. Meenakshi Ravi and Vidwan N G Ravi began their activities in music through Meera School of Music by aiding the music schools that train their students in the field of Carnatic music, devotional music (vocal) and mrudangam with their experience & expertise.

In 2000, Meenakshi Ravi who holds a Doctorate degree in counseling with over 15 years of work experience as a psychosocial consultant, reflected to blend both fields of knowledge and practical experience (i.e., music and mental health) that gave an inception to set up Manollasini Trust which is an offshoot of Meera Center for Music Therapy, Education and Research with the main objective of exploring carnatic music in four dimensions of Holistic Health.

In 2014, the Trust expanded its horizon to help people in Hyderabad explore the benefits of music therapy through Nadamaya centre.

The trust now awaiting to get registered under FCRA.
