Calcutta Foundation, established in 1993/4 by Mrs Fran Caterini, (wife of the then Director of American Centre, Dino Caterini. She was a musician, and this trust was basically set up to nurture the musical talents of outgoing students from the Oxford Mission, under the banner of Calcutta foundation Orchestra.) is a Charitable Trust, exempt from tax, under 80-G of Income Tax Act.  Mrs Caterini and Mrs Shamlu Dudeja were the working Members of the Board of Trustees; but Mrs Caterini went back to the US, in 1995, leaving Mrs. Dudeja to manage the affairs of the Trust. Mr. Russi Mody was the Chairman, at that time; that mantle was passed on to Mrs. Dudeja, soon thereafter.
