Ramuni Paniker Trust is a non-profit-making foundation that, on the one hand, supports students from economically needy families from South India so they can be trained in professional and superior education and, on the other hand, collaborates in the promotion and economic aid to initiatives of cultural, artistic, educational and research activities that favour a better mutual knowledge among people from South India and Spain.

With this event the foundation will be introduced to the Catalan society and will open the scholarship programme for 2012.
