About Us

MulticoreWare.org was created to showcase all our activities and initiatives that focussed on ways to give back to the society and community.

We believe that “giving back” is a continuous activity that pervades every aspect of our interactions and cannot be compartmentalized into one item or task.

Our social programmes and initiatives are based on the bedrock of “Doing Good, Feeling Good, Getting Good”.

Our values firmly emphasize a staunch sense of integrity and fairness in every interaction, treating people everywhere with respect and being mindful of ecological sensitivity and sustainability in thought and action.

Education (Chennai)

Nethrodaya, March4th, March 5th and 11th March
We went to a blind organization named Nethrodaya. The people over there needed proper support in library management. We rearranged the braille books and common textbooks for exam preparation and other collegiate and school books, and also some novels in both English and Tamil for the teachers and mentors who generally refer them to teach. We made the arrangement easier to access for all the people. We prepared a Database according to the segregation pattern that would be easy for them to understand. Also, we entertained them with some basic activities like games and stuff.
