The objective of the
Ramanujan Museum is to inspire the rising generation and motivate the
mathematically gifted youngsters to pursue mathematical career.
There is the
illustrations example to emulate in the life of Prof. Selberg the mathematician, who
has blossomed into one of the leading number theorists and field Medalists after
going through Ramanujan's works presented by his father when he was a school
student. Keeping this in mind, Math Education centre as an adjunct to the Museum
offers assistance to educators, educationists and parents in knowing how to identify
mathematically gifted children and cater to their special needs. There are also special
programmers for low achievers. We want to set up a cadre of well briefed resource
persons from retired teachers in the age group 60 to 65 to work for this mission.

- Accomplished establishing a "Ramunujan Museum" in Avvai Kalai Kazhagam, the first of its kind in India, which he thought would propagate the need for a larger Museum set-up
