Inspired by the Tamil chair at Harvard University, the University of Toronto (U of T)  at Scarborough, Canada launched its own Tamil chair in June last year. The chair which is a joint venture of Tamil Chair Inc. and the Canadian Tamil Congress (CTC) has brought  the mandate to develop an academic program on Tamil language, history and culture through research and scholarship.

Now, this forum has honoured D. Imman with the 'leaders for change' award, for which he has also composed a 'Tamil Anthem'. The composer who is currently riding high on the success of Viswasam took to his official twitter page to share how 'honoured' he felt:
