Initiated by Dr. Palash Sen, the campaign seeks to draw attention towards the plight of independent musicians who have been left without any source of income in the absence of concerts, gigs and other forms of live on-ground musical events. Live on change.org, with no limit on the number of signatures, the petition calls for immediate relief packages for singers, composers, lyricists, instrumentalists, sound engineers and others associated with the independent music industry.

Independent musicians have worked hard to keep their art form alive, in spite of tough competition from the mainstream industry. Signing the petition is a way to show solidarity with all those independent musicians who have entertained everyone over the years. It is a step towards ensuring that the independent music industry receives the recognition and support that it deserves.`
