IIRC, he's a graduate of the College of Engg in Guindy. His daughter, Vidya is a member here although I have not seen her posts in a while.
I also believe that his son composes music too!

Vidwan Rajkumar Bharathi early recordings gives a touch of TRS . Then his pure musical vidwan trajectory took to compositions and operas after voice problems.

Mar25 2017 writeup of his

Some one wrote many years back in the forum that there is a website for rajkumar bharathi that was getting ready , is that complete?

As far as I am concerned, Rajkumar Bharathi should be occupying the place the Car Driver does today. His confidence, his padantharam, the fact that he can cater to both the Bovine and the humans without stooping to either level, not to mention his voice and grounding under his guru TV Gopalakrishnan (not of Sangeethapriya fame!)

But yet, Fate had other plans for him and us...
