History

Kaviri communications (KC Studio)s was originally started on 01 October 1977 under the name “Kalai Kaviri Arts and Communications Centre” by the Most Rev. Thomas Fernando, the bishop of Tiruchirapalli. The focus at that time with its first director Rev. Msgr. S. M. George was Music and Dance as these arts were considered as effective means for spreading the good news. The Centre gained recognition in the diocese and beyond with its production of Yesu Kaviam, an Epic on the Life of Christ, by the renowned poet Kannadasan. A professional Dance & Drama Troupe was formed which toured Tamilnadu, a few other States in India, and some Western countries. Part-time schools of classical music and dance were started for the youth. These schools developed into the present Kalai Kaviri College of Fine Arts. Kalai Kaviri Arts and Communications Centre moved away from its College in 2001 to its new and present location. The Centre was re-named Kaviri Communications (KC Studios) on its thirtieth anniversary on 01 October 2007 by the Most Rev. Anthony Devotta, Bishop of Tiruchirapalli to establish its distinctive role apart from the College. Kaviri Communications (KC Studios) re-affirms its commitment and assumes its role with a broad vision and mission that has already started to take on the new challenges and vast opportunities of this revolutionary era of information and communication technology.
