Samudhaya Foundation is 25 yrs now….it just seems as if it was yesterday that it was launched.
What began as a small effort to contribute to society through my music, seeking support from large hearted generous souls - rasikas, well-wishers, friends, members from the fraternity, business entities…. has made us come this far.
It was the Kargil war and the incomparable loss of families that propelled me to work towards launching Samudhaaya Foundation. Since then, I have realized, in fulfilment, the opportunities that my music provides in touching souls and enhancing support to the needy. The Foundation has supported causes primarily for children and underprivileged women, relating to medicare, infrastructure and education.
On the occasion of the 25th anniversary, we had the honour of Smt. Mallika Srinvasan, Chairman & MD, TAFE gracing the occasion and giving away the donor cheques to Akshaya Trust, Viswajayam Foundation and Annai Ullam. The Saadhana Award for Excellence was conferred upon Padma Shri awardee K*m A. Kanyakumari and Deepa Muthaiya, Chairman, Dean Foundation.
The official function was followed by a thematic dance presentation 'Kallazhagar'. It was a beautiful evening of compassion with sterling workers doing yeoman jobs and achievers who have touched society through their music and kind hearts.
