Project Name: Sri Lakshmi Hayagreeva Arts College

HH Sri Parakala Swamy has recently accquired the functionally depleted Arts college in Melkote (Thirunarayana puram) in order to provide continuing education to the youth. The College has been renamed "Sri Laksmi Hayagreeva Arts College" and has been operating using the funds provided by Sri Parakala Matham, Mysore.

The college currently has more than 200 students and they are being provided food, accommodation and education free of cost to them. The funds for these purposes are coming from the corpus fund of Sri Parakala Matham.

Future: HH's vision for this College is to

  • Stabilize free food/board/education operations via bolstering of the corpus funds and
  • Extend the curricula to include Sanskrit and Veda PathaShala to the students
Project Costs:

The current costs for providing the above free services to 200 students is about Rs. 2000/day (Rs. 750000/yearly). In US Dollar terms, this kaimkaryam equates to raising about $20000/year.

It could be as low as $1/day for 50 of us !
