As the worthy descendant of a great and illustrious family distinguished for the liberal encouragement of art and learning, you have nobly maintained its high traditions. Your late revered father, Srimat Duraisinga Raja was himself a musician and a generous patron of music. Recently you have founded the Raja Duraisingam College at Sivaganga and you have thus set a shining example, worthy of emulation by philanthrophists, for the promotion and advancement of culture and education of the youth of our motherland.
