For over a decade, DESH (Development Educational Society for Health) has been spearheading community service, as a forerunner in the AIDS prevention campaign in the State. Its current projects address a population of over 2,50,000 in over 20 slums in Chennai. It has set up branches in five cities in India. DESH is one of the pioneers in setting up an unlinked anonymous counselling through interactive voice response system in five cities, besides Chennai.

Sangeetha Isvaran, a disciple of Kalanidhi Narayanan has just returned after completing a project of comparative study of the abhinaya nuances in the Ramayana presentation of Cambodia, Thailand and Indonesia.
