Release of a collection of 30 songs sung by the children of Sakthi-Vidiyal - ‘Aarparippu’ a music album was launched by cine playback singer Mathichiyam Bala here on Thursday.
The Sakhti-Vidiyal has been working for the cause of children’s rights for the past three decades working in eight slums and 12 villages around Madurai for the welfare and holistic development of children, said its executive director C. Jim Jesudoss at the launch function.
He said that Shakti-Vidiyal worked for the betterment and created opportunities for the children through Vidiyal Child Rights Movement. The idea, he said, was to provide ample opportunities for the children to explore their talents and used songs as medium to promote child rights.
The music album contains songs sung by Janarthanan, Thilothama, Kabilan, Nisha, Viswa and Viswakavi among others. The songs were composed in various camps held in the past by the institution with the central theme as child rights.
Naidu and Jagan frittered away chance to develop the State, says Y.S. Sharmila. While the former Chief Minister left the farmers who parted with their lands for the capital project in the lurch, his successor proposed three capitals as a part of his government’s decentralisation move but failed to set up even one, alleges the APCC chief. The BJP too contributed its part in betraying the State, she says. Special Category Status (SCS) is the panacea for all the existing problems of the State, she adds.
