Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Kolkata Kendra felicitated Guru A. Srividya. She was presented with "Smt. Parvathy Gopalkrishnan and Shri K. V. Gopalkrishnan Endowment Felicitation" instituted by their sons to honour those who are doing valuable service to the community. Justice Sri Chittatosh Mookerjee did the honours and spoke highly of the Carnatic music tradition. Guru A. Srividya offered her reverence to her gurus and insisted that she was only trying to carry forward the Dikshitar tradition from what she has imbibed from her gurus at Sri Guruguha Gana Vidyalaya.
