The Roja Muthiah Research Library (RMRL), renowned for its dedication to preserving Tamil heritage, has announced a meaningful partnership with KaarTech, a global leader in digital transformation, aimed at conserving and digitizing rare Tamil cultural assets. This alliance, forged through KaarTech’s corporate social responsibility initiative, Kaar Arakkattalai, brings fresh momentum to RMRL’s mission of safeguarding Tamil literary treasures for future generations.
RMRL: A Legacy of Preservation
Since its founding in 1994, RMRL has been a guardian of Tamil cultural heritage, housing over 500,000 rare items, including manuscripts, publications, and archives. For three decades, the library has spearheaded initiatives to digitize these materials, successfully preserving more than 2 million pages to ensure their accessibility and longevity. Through cutting-edge projects like the Tamil Font Studio (TFS), which creates fonts compatible with modern digital platforms, RMRL is making Tamil texts accessible to new generations of readers and scholars around the world.
KaarTech’s Role in Supporting Heritage Preservation
KaarTech’s contribution to RMRL underscores its commitment to social responsibility, with a special focus on heritage preservation, education, and community development. Through Kaar Arakkattalai, KaarTech supports initiatives that promote knowledge and cultural continuity. In line with this mission, KaarTech has donated INR 20 lakhs to support the construction of RMRL’s new institutional building, an expansion that will allow the library to continue its digitization efforts on a broader scale.
Expanding Access to Tamil Heritage Worldwide
This collaboration enables RMRL to increase global access to Tamil literary and cultural heritage. KaarTech’s support is expected to further the reach of RMRL’s resources to students, researchers, and cultural enthusiasts worldwide. By integrating technology with heritage preservation, RMRL is setting a precedent for sustainable cultural conservation efforts, and KaarTech’s support bolsters the library’s ability to make these invaluable resources more accessible.
A Shared Vision for the Future
“At KaarTech, we believe that social responsibility means contributing to the preservation of not just the present, but also the cultural roots that define who we are,” said KaarTech’s leadership. “By supporting RMRL’s work, we are helping to preserve a piece of history that resonates with people around the world.”
Building a Lasting Legacy
With the support of Kaar Arakkattalai, RMRL is well-equipped to continue its legacy of protecting Tamil literature, ensuring that future generations can access and appreciate Tamil cultural heritage. As RMRL and KaarTech work together, this partnership stands as a testament to the power of collaboration in preserving the cultural history that unites communities and bridges the past with the present.
