In the wake of increasing pressure from parents and students, the government has decided to postpone the Class 10 Secondary School Leaving Certificate examination. “The SSLC examinations slated to start from June 21 stands postponed,” said Primary and Secondary Education Minister S. Suresh Kumar on Wednesday. “The increasing number of COVID-19 cases in the State, coupled with concerns of parents and students and many school associations, has resulted in this decision.”
Away from the memorial of saint-composer Thyagaraja in Thiruvaiyaru, where his 179th aradhana is marked by five days of uninterrupted concerts, unchavritti and rendering of the Pancharatna kritis, a parallel aradhana is under way in Thanjavur. In the narrow Varagappa Iyer Lane off the bustling South Main Street, devotees queue up at a house named after Thyagaraja. It is here that the idols of Rama, Sita, Lakshmana, Bharata, Shatrughna and Anjaneya, worshipped by Thyagaraja himself, are preserved, along with a portrait of the saint-composer said to have been drawn by his disciples.
