“We are faced with the paradoxical fact that education has become one of the chief obstacles to intelligence and freedom of thought.”
We are allowed Higher Secondary as self-financing course. So most of our students are those whose admission is rejected from aided, Govt. School it’s a tiresome job to pick up there below average students in high standard. From the First batch awards, we conduct night classes (5 To 9) for both boys and girls who are weak students in studies. During February and March, Boys are given the facilities to stay and study with teachers.
Our activities may be broadly grouped under the following heads:
1. BUILDING ELECTRONIC ARCHIVES:
Using the Computer Software Package made available to us by the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, on Computers available at their homes or at our school Training Center, Cultural Society in India, our Volunteers create data files in Indian languages and English in respect of:
(a) Texts of ancient Indian religious, philosophical and literary works from books, manuscripts and other sources, together with their translations and commentaries, with facilities for search and study.
(b) Presentations in respect of Art and Culture under heads like Music, Painting and Sculpture: A beginning has been made under Music with a presentation on the Melakarta Foundation of Carnatic Music, displaying the notation of the 72 Melakarta Ragas and illustrated by brief sound recordings on the Veena.
The structure of this presentation is intended indeed as a model of a foundation on which the super-structure of a comprehensive public archive on composers and compositions of Carnatic Music can be constructed with the help of votaries, connoisseurs and practitioners of this system of music.
It would have facilities to navigate and locate any desired information and other sources of information and also listens to sound recordings. A beginning has also been made with presentations under the head Painting.
2. RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT & TRAINING:
(b) Trainers from Disability Training Institutions, Volunteers engaged in Disability-related services and Persons with all types of Disabilities are provided the sound-enabled Software Package of the and also Training in its use, Cultural Society Coimbatore , free of charge, Cultural Society in India, so that they can run similar training courses in their own homes or places of work, at their own time and convenience, for the benefit of socially or physically disadvantaged people living in their areas.
