A highlight of the event was an emotional moment involving a female student who had joined the Agaram Foundation in 2010. Having successfully completed her education and secured a job in a private firm, she arrived at the event with her young daughter. During the gathering, she approached Suriya with a heartfelt request to initiate her daughter’s education by writing the Tamil letter ‘அ’ (A), which traditionally marks the beginning of literacy in Tamil culture.
Responding with warmth and sincerity, Suriya stepped onto the stage, held the little girl’s index finger, and guided her hand to write the letter ‘அ’ in a plate of rice a symbolic and emotional gesture that captivated the audience. The moment was met with applause, cheer, and overwhelming emotion from everyone present.
Throughout the event, several former students of the Agaram Foundation shared their inspiring life stories from growing up in extreme poverty to achieving success in their careers, all made possible by the foundation’s support. Their heartfelt accounts moved Suriya to tears, and he joined the audience in clapping and cheering for their accomplishments.
