"Who doesn't complain about our traffic problem?" We all do.
C. Krishniah Chetty Foundation takes a step forward for a meaningful on-ground, real contribution to society. From the C.

Happy to join and render a small service to the Commissioner of Police and the dedicated policemen and policewomen of Bengaluru.
C. Krishniah Chetty Scholarship program for Great Young Minds.
To support the education of girl children, Managing Trustee Dr. C. Vinod Hayagriv announced the scholarship program in April 2022, named the “Scholarship Program for Great Young Minds.” The theme this year is “Grow with Aspiration and be an Inspiration.”
Under this programme, the scholarships are being awarded mainly to students of 8th, 9th, and 10th grade, and in certain cases, to students of 1st and 2nd PUC as well. We consider awarding the scholarship based solely on merit and financial need. The scholarships are being awarded to students who have a good track record of academic excellence, with a minimum of 70% score in the previous academic year. CKC teams have visited children’s homes to assess first-hand their financial constraints and to evaluate their commitment to having their girl child study and pursue her dreams.
“THERE'S NO SHORTCUT TO SUCCESS. VALUES DON'T CHANGE. PEOPLE DO. BE STEADFAST IN YOUR PRINCIPLES AND VALUES TILL THE LAST DAY OF YOUR LIFE”. --C. V. HAYAGRIV , Trustee, C. Krishniah Chetty Foundation.
As part of its continuing support programmes, the C. Krishniah Chetty Foundation has been supporting five government schools in Bengaluru, catering to the educational needs of more than 800 children. The CKC Group goes beyond cheque-book charity. The over 300 direct employees and 300 extended employees work towards supporting with time, efforts, and expertise during working and non-working hours. For instance, all the C. Krishniah Chetty Group employees and staff were involved in conducting annual sports for these children!
