In a bid to change the nation with music, this 55 year old Civil Engineer from Andhra Pradesh is teaching children how to play guitar for only a rupee a day.
S.V Rao who is affectionately known as ‘Guitar Rao’ among his students has three fixed spots in the capital where he takes classes regularly, the Times of India reported. Rao is on a mission to convince Prime Minister, Narendra Modi to start a Sangeet Bharat campaign just like the Swachch Bharat campaign which was launched in 2014. He also provides the instrument to these children on his own.
