The Heart Foundation (Helping to Educate Associate Rehabilitate & Teach) which was to organise a War of Bands – Band Competition called Heart 2015 – Beats For All in aid of Prevention of Abuse of Children & Teens (PACT) has been postponed due to time constraints.

Talking to Dr. Ellis Jayakar, founder of Heart, he said "There has been overwhelming response of our band competition with over 50 bands registering and we felt that we need to give each a time to perform and two days are insufficient. Also we are not getting 3 days continuous booking due to various programs happening in the city so we have postponed it to 22-24 January 2016."

"We also plan to have various other programs like dance, mimicry etc not only for the youth but also the kids too" he added.

"Being a musician, I am overwhelmed by the response and it's the first time like this is happening" said Keyoor Karadkhedkar, who heads the music division of the foundation – BEATS
