The Oscar winning maestro AR Rahman is also a philanthropist.

The A R Rahman Foundation has produced a special 2010 desk top calendar in collaboration with Worldlight, a subsidiary of Audio Media Education.

The highlight of the calendar is that it features the Mozart of Madras in various moods captured by Selva Kumar, photographer and CEO of Audio Media Education India.

It also has some of Rahman’s thoughts on universal themes like music, language and love.

The A R Rahman Foundation is presently providing free education in music, to 30 students from corporation schools in Chennai. The vision of the A R Rahman Foundation is to strive towards making poverty history.

As a first step towards achieving this vision, the foundation will set up educational institutions and provide world class infrastructure and education to underprivileged children who do not have the means and fund their education.
