Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Wednesday released the official logo of the third edition of the Kochi Design Week (KDW), which will be held on Bolgatty Island from December 16 to 17.
P. Rajeeve, Minister for Law, Industries and Coir, and Anoop Ambika, Chief Executive Officer of the Kerala Startup Mission, attended the function held at the Chief Minister’s Chamber, according to a release.
This year’s International Design Festival, to be held in partnership with the Kerala Startup Mission, will provide a podium to creative minds for a robust and interactive exchange of ideas on the new facets in design, art and technology.
The third edition of KDW, an annual event, is expected to witness a gathering of over 25,000 comprising design professionals, architects, interior designers, thought leaders, policymakers, government officials, and the public, it said.

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.
