Onkar Academy Cooperation Circle (CC) members run cultural centers in various places where children and youth are the main area of focus. Attendees manifest their art, drama, and musical talents in youth outreach—many of them now serve a very prominent role in the community. In India, some young adults that are pushed to study engineering and medical sciences become very depressed at a later age. In response, CC members are providing children, as well as young adults, a platform to follow their inner calling to pursue a career in art or music, with a respect of all castes and traditions, if it is their dream.
