Kammavar Cultural Academy

The path the Kamma clan has travelled

Our ancestors did not walk paths strewn with flowers to live in palaces. They swam through rivers of fire to shape the prosperous life we have today.

What we do

The work of the academy

Four strands of one purpose — families held together, children rising, and faith kept alive.

Kuladeivam temples

We work through the family-deity temples of Tamil Nadu, with a member of our trust at each one.

Maha Sankalpam

Gatherings in the temples that teach our children family unity and the way of life of the Kamma clan.

UPSC & TNPSC

Encouragement and real facilities for students preparing for the civil services and every government examination.

Devotion

The Thiruppavai conference of Andal and Vishnu Sahasranama recitals, held again and again.

Who we are

A community of many gifts

As the reign of kings gave way to the struggle for freedom, our forebears stood among those who gave the most in sacrifice.

Today we are administrators, lawyers, doctors and farmers — a community known for its devotion, its generosity and its hard work.

“Every girl is a form of the Goddess; every boy is Rama.”
The ideal we work towards
