Project
Thirumangaiyazwan Project – Ennore
Sri Ramanuja Charitable Trust established the Thirumangaiyazwan Branch in Ennore to support students from disadvantaged families, particularly children of fishermen and daily-wage laborers.
For many of these students, basic computer education was out of reach due to the high cost of private institutes. In addition, Ennore had no dedicated computer training centers, further limiting opportunities for local children to acquire essential digital skills.
To bridge this gap, the Trust opened the Thirumangaiyazwan Branch with the mission of providing affordable, accessible, and quality computer education to students from this community.
- Address: No. 2/22/5, Pillai Thottam, Thilagar Nagar, Ennore, Chennai – 57
- The branch was officially inaugurated on 10th May 2008.
Kanchi Periyavar Project-Ponneri
The Ponneri Project, also known as the Kanchi Periyavar Branch, was established by the Sri Ramanuja Charitable Trust to make computer education accessible to underprivileged students. Ponneri is a vital hub that connects nearly 180 villages, with several Corporation schools serving the region.
Unfortunately, many children from poor families in Ponneri have been unable to attend computer classes due to high fees, leaving such opportunities largely restricted to children from wealthier households. As a result, numerous students either failed their public examinations or were forced to discontinue their studies due to financial struggles.
To address this gap, the Trust identified and selected these students, providing them with affordable computer training and job-oriented programs. By offering both education and employment pathways, the Kanchi Periyavar Branch empowers disadvantaged students to overcome barriers, continue their learning, and secure a brighter future.
- Address: No. 37, T.H. Road, Ponneri, Thiruvallur – 601203 (Landmark: LNG College)
- The branch was officially inaugurated on 25th May 2010.

Sri Udaiyavar Kottai Project-Elavur Village
Sri Ramanuja Charitable Trust established the Udaiyavar Kottai Branch in Elavur Village with the mission of providing computer education to underprivileged students, especially those from the Irular community and other socially and economically disadvantaged families.
Elavur Village, located in the Gummidipoondi Taluk of Thiruvallur District, faces significant educational challenges due to widespread poverty and the lack of modern learning resources. With no affordable computer training centers in the area, children have long been denied opportunities to acquire essential digital skills.
To bridge this gap, the Trust inaugurated the Udaiyavar Kottai Branch on 8th October 2016. This initiative not only equips students with computer literacy but also empowers the youth of Elavur Village by bridging the digital divide and creating pathways to higher education and employment opportunities.

- Location: Arulmigu Anandhavalli Samedha Agatheeswarar Thirukovil, Periyakarumbur, Thiruvallur District
Sri Ramanuja Charitable Trust established the Kurathazwan Branch at the Arulmigu Anandhavalli Samedha Agatheeswarar Temple in Periyakarumbur, with the goal of extending computer education to students from nearly 38 surrounding villages.
