Sunday Kutcheri in the Park Launch- February 2006

Vandulur Vishwa Vidyalaya Students launch Sundaram Finance Sunday Kutcheri in the Park with a Group Kutcheri

Sundaram Finance Sunday Kutcheri in the Park kicked off on 5th February 2006 with a Group Kutcheri presented by 8 students belonging to Vandalur Vishwa Vidyalaya School.

All these students started at around 5am on Sunday morning from Vandalur to reach the chess square at the Nageswara Rao Park by 6am, a good half hour before the scheduled time of the Sunday Kutcheri. The students were all very excited to present a Kutcheri sans mike and speakers and in front a big audience, many of whom were sitting within yards of the performing artistes.

Most of the children from Vishwa Vidyalaya in Vandalur who came to sing at the first Sunday Kutcheri in the Park were children of labourers, none of whom had ever had the benefit of a school education.

This school, run by two ladies, has had an excellent track record growing from about 50 students to well over 800 students. An integral part of the curriculum is the music education. For these students, it turned out to be a nice platform to showcase their talent in front a big audience that comprised morning walkers and music connoisseurs.

Many in the audience stayed back well beyond the kutcheri to personally appreciate and bless these young children.
