--->Chetan's Fund Utilization:
While initially fund collection was supposed to go for Chetan's medical and recovery expenses, we had lot of support and money coming from all the channels to his needs. But, as things turned out worse for all of us, we had lot of funds coming even after his demise. We are fortunate that Chetan's Insurance has helped to cover for his flight to India. We are hopeful most of his medical expenses will be taken care of by Insurance and medical discounts.
We are now thinking to send whatever money raised to India for Chetan's parents and let them decide to utilize money for best cause that suits his soul. We suppose thats the best thing we can do.
Thank you all once again for your tremendous support. And Manthan will always be thankful and willing to help in similar way for any cause.

Welcome to the website of "Manthan - Indian Students' Organization" at the University of Tennessee. The purpose of the organization is to provide a platform for students of Indian origin to come together and celebrate the rich cultural heritage of India and to promote cultural understanding and exchange of ideas and views between the people of India and those of USA and other countries.
As is it's meaning, Manthan strives to extract the 'AMRIT' of cultural exchange between these two countries from the sea of happiness and despair. Manthan WELCOMES the new applicants to UTK, with an eagerness to assist them in all possible ways.
