Academy of Indian Classical Music
Mishra, along with his son Deobrat Mishra, has started the Academy Of Indian Classical Music as a part of their Benaras Gharana Project to make classical Indian music accessible. The Academy aims to:
- Establish a school for the teaching of Indian Classical music in the traditional Benaras Gharana style;
- Provide scholarships to children to assist them in their learning of this musical style;
- Create opportunities for students and young artists to develop their potential through study and performance;
- Provide right livelihood for qualified and dedicated teachers.
The academy is notable for admitting non-Indian musicians including those from Europe and the USA.

“Compare the history of the novel to that of rock ‘n’ roll. Both started out a minority taste, became a mass taste, and then splintered into several subgenres. Both have been the typical cultural expressions of classes and epochs. Both started out aggressively fighting for their share of attention, novels attacking the drama, the tract, and the poem, rock attacking jazz and pop and rolling over classical music.”
