NRI FESTIVAL OF HAMSADHWANI INAUGURATED |
|||
Hamsadhwani, the ten-year old Sabha that has recently been in the news a lot, opened its sixth NRI Festival series last night at a well-organised function. After the usual prayer, the kuthivilakku was lit by Mrs. Mariam Ram. Then Sri Ramachandran, the Secretary of Hamsadhwani delivered the welcome address. While welcoming one and all, he took the opportunity to directly address several issues that have caused Hamsadhwani to be in the news. He explained that the NRI series was not a money-making venture, but that while Hamsadhwani requested the NRIs to become their patron members, they also paid them remuneration for their concerts on par with the local musicians. He also said that Hamsadhwani was planning to start a food and health clinic in the near future. |
