Madras High Court Judge Justice Anitha Sumanth on Saturday appreciated the 60 years of quiet and robust integration of art and culture by Sri Sathguru Sangeetha Samajam in Madurai.
Speaking at M.S. Subbulakshmi Music Festival - 2023 organised by the Samajam, the judge said the late MS (fondly known as MS Amma) herself was a recipient of Madhura Kalapraveena (an annual award instituted by the Samajam), which reflected the yeomen services rendered by this institution for Carnatic music for many decades.
She suggested that the Samajam spread the nuances of Carnatic music to more people so that they would be aware of such musicians. She recalled how Sama Veda, the seat of melody and rhythm, was deemed to be the foundation for Carnatic music. “We are connected and interconnected through music all over the world,” she added.
The HC Judge lauded vocalist Gurucharan for playing the role of a catalyst to youth on Carnatic music. She also hailed the Samajam as the “Music Academy” of Madurai for it attracted both musicians and rasikas from far and near.
Madurai Sri Meenakshi award’, instituted by the Samajam in memory of M.S. Subbulakshmi, was presented to Gurucharan. The Samajam celebrates the birth anniversary of MS by honouring a renowned musician on September 16 every year with a cash award, citation and medal.
In his acceptance speech, Gurucharan said for every musician awards and recognition were a big motivation in their career.
Samajam secretary L. Rajaram welcomed and S. Venkatnarayanan honoured the musicians.

“Writing, in general, is a very solitary process,” says Yauvanika Chopra, Associate Director at The New India Foundation (NIF), which, earlier this year, announced the 12th edition of its NIF Book Fellowships for research and scholarship about Indian history after Independence. While authors, in general, are built for it, it can still get very lonely, says Chopra, pointing out that the fellowship’s community support is as valuable as the monetary benefits it offers. “There is a solid community of NIF fellows, trustees, language experts, jury members, all of whom are incredibly competent,” she says. “They really help make authors feel supported from manuscript to publication, so you never feel like you’re struggling through isolation.”

Supreme Court ruling on socialism, secularism
Several principals of government and private schools in Delhi on Tuesday said the Directorate of Education (DoE) circular from a day earlier, directing schools to conduct classes in ‘hybrid’ mode, had caused confusion regarding day-to-day operations as they did not know how many students would return to school from Wednesday and how would teachers instruct in two modes — online and in person — at once. The DoE circular on Monday had also stated that the option to “exercise online mode of education, wherever available, shall vest with the students and their guardians”. Several schoolteachers also expressed confusion regarding the DoE order. A government schoolteacher said he was unsure of how to cope with the resumption of physical classes, given that the order directing government offices to ensure that 50% of the employees work from home is still in place. On Monday, the Commission for Air Quality Management in the National Capital Region and Adjoining Areas (CAQM) had, on the orders of the Supreme Court, directed schools in Delhi-NCR to shift classes to the hybrid mode, following which the DoE had issued the circular. The court had urged the Centre’s pollution watchdog to consider restarting physical classes due to many students missing out on the mid-day meals and lacking the necessary means to attend classes online. The CAQM had, on November 20, asked schools in Delhi-NCR to shift to the online mode of teaching.
