Building a nation can do so only transforming the youth to higher level of education. A Chinese proverb quote.. “Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime.” Education gives self confidence.

Chennai Fine Arts is a not for profit organization promoting classical carnatic music for the past fifteen years. We have been organizing a number of concerts every year. Some of our concerts are based on select themes which focus on rare composers and compositions, exclusive instrumental music and encouraging young talents. We have also brought out ten publications on music. As an initiative to take music to the underprivileged children from rural areas, we organize a workshop every summer at Puducherry. Those being our core activities, we also focus on a few social activities. Our main interest is on the education sector. We choose children from the economically weaker section who cannot afford normal schooling and support them. We take care of their educational needs by means of paying their tuition fee and offering them financial support to buy books and other necessities. Complete support is extended until the child graduates and has a sustainable life of its own. The following is the list of students under our support.
