Two main projects, which have been initiated by the current administrative cycle, are a series of music competitions and scholarships for Carnatic students in Canada. The music competitions were held in August 2005 and August 2006, and the winners for both the junior and senior divisions were given several titles.

The scholarship program, which was also initiated in 2005, was intended to address the common complaint by Carnatic students that their musical achievements were not being recognized by postsecondary academic institutions. The winners of both the scholarship and the music contests will be recognized in the Isai Vizha celebrations of 2006. Future Directions In the last 13 years, TIKM has witnessed rapid growth, and is currently a well-recognized organization in the South Indian community of Ontario. However, awareness of TIKM and even Carnatic music in general has been lacking in the broader community. One of the main mandates of TIKM is to increase awareness of Carnatic music in Canada.
