Actor Kamal Haasan has participated in yet another social cause, this time being that of the setting up of a Tamil chair at the world-renowned Harvard University. The chair will tremendously help in the preservation and growth of the Tamil language.

He has donated a sum of Rs. 20 lakh towards the cause during a recent gathering. Gnanasambandam, Tamil scholar and actor, said during the event, "Over a year ago, Kamal had already voiced out asking that people donate to and help the cause to the best of their ability. Now, he himself has helped the movement financially, and it has to be appreciated."
