Donations

We have come this far in our journey only due to the kind donations and support from all well wishers and those who have been inspired by the DakshinaChitra experience to contribute towards its future. We are an NGO and exists without any operating support from Government.

Please note that no matter how small, every donation counts and is deeply appreciated. Your donation enables DakshinaChitra to continue to offer stimulating programs to the public.
