He inculcated in us a habit of getting vast knowledge and reminded us the wording 'learning is fun'. He is the reason why many of us are engineers today. So to commemorate the great path that was led by him, M Sivakumar Memorial Charitable Trust was formed 2 months back. It is a non-profit charitable organization started by students, friends and family of Sivakumar sir. The Trust is established for the benefit of citizens of India without discrimination of religion, caste, race, colour, creed or sex and is especially meant for the financially and socially backward classes."
