A few Kollywood stars are setting an example by contributing something positive to the society. When Chennai was flooded, Siddharth (who is not exclusively a Kollywood actor) took many initiatives spontaneously to help the needy. Suriya runs Agaram Foundation, which has volunteers from different sections of society (including IT employees). Legendary actors Rajinikanth and Kamal Haasan, too, have been known to carry out philanthropic activities.

Vishal is another star who has been actively engaged in charity. As the General Secretary of Nadigar Sangham, he has come to the rescue of hapless cine workers and senior artists, for example. Latest, he is out to finance the expenses of poor students.

Vishal in a video message has said that any student who has cleared state board 12th exams, but could not bear the cost of higher education can contact his Devi Social and Educational and Foundation, a trust run by Vishal under the name of his mother Devi.

Vishal feels that education is very important and no one should be deprived of that due to financial status He has said that students from poor economic background, especially the girl students can make use of this financial assistance and the only thing they need to do is contact the phone number that has been given in the video message. He has also requested everyone to share the video and the message in social media so that it reaches the deserving candidates.

The contact number of Devi Social and Educational and Foundation is +91-8745009846.
