SKCC continues Sri Sri Sri Maha Periyava?s mission, by raising funds to support Veda Patashalas and Veda Vidyarthis. Kanchi Maha Periyava started this initiative on March 10, 1966 and called it the Pidi Arisi Thittam. In this program, households would set aside a handful of rice every day, which would be collected once a week and distributed to the Patashalas.
