Drive coming to preserve manuscripts
Since assuming office in May last, the Tamil Nadu government has retrieved 432.82 acres of temple land, worth ₹1,628.61 crore, after removing encroachments, Governor R.N. Ravi said in the Assembly on Wednesday.
“I sincerely appreciate the government for taking proactive steps to safeguard temple land and effectively manage temple assets,” he said. A publication division of the Department of Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR and CE) would be established with state-of-the-art facilities to bring out books on the history and architecture of temples, and the Tamil literature, including Bhakti literature.

The design team at The Indian Twist works on the spontaneous artworks by children and young adults from A Brush With Art (@abwa_chennai) and CanBridge Academy (thecanbridgeacademy), “kneading” them into its products, thereby transforming these artworks into a state of saleability. CanBridge Academy provides life skill training to young adults with autism. And ABWA promotes “expression of natural art in children with special needs”.
