The Hindu
‘Total loan amount disbursed will cross ₹150 cr. this academic year ‘
Concerted efforts by Madurai MP Su. Venkatesan and Madurai district administration, along with bankers, have resulted in distribution of educational loans worth ₹100 crore in Madurai district for the academic year 2021-22.
Talking to reporters here on Tuesday, Mr. Venkatesan said the attempt was to ensure that no eligible student, who had passed out Plus Two, was denied access to higher education for want of financial assistance.

Devotees of Lord Ayyappa will now have an opportunity to present their own devotional songs at the hill shrine of Sabarimala, thanks to an initiative by the TDB. The temple management board has decided to include newly composed devotional songs by ordinary devotees in the list of songs played through the public address system at the shrine. At present only devotional songs rendered by renowned singers such as K J Yesudas and Jayavijaya are played at Sabarimala, a Travancore Devaswom Board statement said.
