Suriya is known to support noble
causes and especially helping underprivileged
children to take up career of their
choice under the banner Agaram foundation.
The latest endeavor of Agaram foundation
is Vidhai where with valuable contributions
from prominent personalities in
the business world they will work
towards accomplishing the dreams
of deprived children.
This Pongal, Vijay TV and Agaram
foundation come together with a
program titled ‘Oru Koodi
Oru thodakkam’.
Agaram has raised Rs 1 crore from
various prominent personalities
like Erode Sakthi Masala owner Mr.
Duraiswamy, Ms. Shanthi Duraiswamy,
Mafoi Mr. K.Pandiyarajan, Ms. Latha
Pandiyarajan, Tiruchi Alpha Foundation
Dr. Pazani, Ramraj Cotton Mr. Nagaraj,
Mr. Satuyamurthy, Mr. Varun, Akshaya
Homes Mr. Chittibabu, Bharathy Cements.
The money raised will help needy
students to chase their dreams.
Though efforts by the Tamil Nadu
Government have helped few children
from the lower strata to complete
their education many are unable
to complete their studies due to
poor economic conditions.
Suriya, during a press conference
at Prasad Studios on Sunday, stated
that there is lack of awareness
between the deprived children and
the donors, because the former does
not know who to approach and the
latter are confused as to who are
the deserving candidates.
The actor added that in order to
make this task simpler for both
parties Agaram will act as a bridge
to connect them. He further added
that at the end of the academic
year, deserving students will be
identified and their education will
be sponsored. A team of experts
consisting of headmasters and principals
will choose the candidates.
So this Pongal watch out for Oru
Koodi Oru Thodakkam on Vijay TV
on January 14, 2010 at 9 a.m.
