About Dr Anantaraman : Bibi Patel has written a short biography of the man who
is at the centre of BAF, Dr Anantaraman. The bio is now a permanent feature of
our website. It is accessible by clicking on the icon at left.




History and Background: Bhawani Anantaraman Foundation (BAF) was established by
Dr. Anantaraman in memory of his wife, Bhawani, and his two daughters, Aruna and
Rupa, who died in the Air India bombing in June, 1985. After spending several
years supporting various Non Governmental Organizations (NGO's) with donation
and volunteer efforts, Dr Anantaraman decided to set up a foundation whose aims
are to promote education among children, particularly the disadvantaged. Thus
BAF was born in August 1995.

BAF is a Canadian registered charity organization managed by a Board of
Directors. There are no salaried employees in the Foundation.

In 1996, the Foundation began financing and actively participating in the
implementation and operation of suitable programs.

BAF has a strong commitment to foster musical talent in young performers. The
Foundation has established several music scholarships and bursaries in the
strings category (violin, viola, and cello).

The first major project undertaken by BAF was a life skills program for youth,
in cooperation with the Ministry of Social Welfare, Kerala, India.

BHAWANI MEMORIAL SCHOOL (BMS) opened in 1999 in Yercaud, Tamil Nadu, India, to
provide quality education to all children regardless of their financial status.
For the first two years, the school was conducted in a rented house, but soon it
became clear that the community needed a school that offered a high level of
education at affordable cost. In 2001, the school moved into its present
location. Our activities are focused on our motto "Progress through creative
education". For additional information concerning the school, please click here.
