Welcome to
DC Kizhakemuri Foundation
Enrich the world of letters and foster socio-economic growth with us. The spirit of innovative leadership continues to inspire us every day.
Celebrating Art
Art is a society’s collective voice, a luminous tapestry of ideas unfurled. Primarily promoting vernacular and international literature through DC Books and Current Books, events and initiatives on our annual calendar also nurture wide – spectrum creativity, staging events that showcase art and culture.
Promoting Education
Under the aegis of DC School, the foundation manages the DC School of Management and Technology and the DC School of Architecture and Design in Trivandrum and Vagamon, offering an eclectic range of graduate and post-graduate programs in management, computer applications and design.
Fostering Culture
A culture comprises a set of customs, social norms and material expressions of a social group and is its heritage. Cultural events are essential to form a sense of community. The DC Kizhakemuri Foundation fosters cultural awareness through a diverse range of cultural engagements.
Art Exhibitions
Art exhibitions are gateways for artists to reach out and connect to larger audiences. The foundation organises regular art exhibitions that feature the work of traditional and contemporary artists, both, established and emerging talents, including interactive sessions, workshops and live demonstrations.
Scholarships
The foundation has instituted scholarships in the form of 100 percent waiver of tuition fee for dependent children of serving, retired defence and para-military personnel. The foundation annually awards educational scholarships to indigent students, enabling them to pursue their academic goals.
Kerala Literature Festival
