Thus from 1945 till date the Kuppaswami Sastri Research Institute (KSRI) has been functioning in this premises, holding one of the best collections of rare and old books on various branches of Sanskritie and Indological studies. It has carved a niche for itself in the international arena of Sanskrit and Indology. Hundreds of scholars from many foreign universities across the globe and different parts of India have benefitted by associating themselves with the KSRI. Dr. V. Raghavan, followed by Dr. S.S. Janaki, with their depth of knowledge and intellectual prowess led this Institute with great dedication and were ably supported by many statesmen, scholars, lovers of Sanskrit and philanthropists. Even after their demise, the Institute has been marching ahead in the same path and has completed 75 years of glorious service to the cause of Sanskritic and Indological research.
The KSRI has been holding periodical seminars/conferences and lectures in which eminent scholars from different parts of India and abroad have actively participated. It is associated with University of Madras for M.Phil and Ph.D in Sanskrit from 1983 and has produced about hundred scholars who submitted their dissertation and were awarded their degrees by the University of Madras. The institute has also been publishing the Journal of Oriental Research, Madras
