A. Gathering and summarising secondary data From the secondary analysis we understood that the prevailing music colleges in Kerala were
started due to the interests and rising demand of students who wished to learn music and start
a career in music.
Now those colleges are providing a number of music courses to students on the basis of theirneed and wish.
We also understood that all tutorials sections and training was given by experts in musicfield.
We found out that these schools are giving oppurtunities to participate for various events andfests to prove their talent.
Last but not the least we also understood that the students who passed out after completingthe course are having huge career oppurtunities like in films, reality shows, albums etc.
B. Exploratory discussions with experts other than mentor From the discussions with the operations faculty Mr.Abhijath, we understood that music
colleges in Kerala lacks enough facilities and infrastructure to provide courses on sound
engineering, Hindustani music in which if one wish to learn those courses they have to seek
admission in colleges located in the northern parts of India.

C. Group deliberations Starting a music college in South Kerala is very essential because only three colleges are
there in the state.
It is an opportunity for the Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham to diversify its functions fromacademic to music. So those who are aware about Amrita institutions will have an urge to
join the institution due to brand value of Amrita.
Everyone is interested in Music, but due to the lack of opportunities and scope many of themdont prefer music as a career. So if Amrita launches a new college of music, It is a a huge
opportunities for those people who are interested in taking music as a career.
By launching a Music college, the result is employment oppurtunities. Other opportunities reality shows, gulf programs etc.
