TN's Thaai Maman gold ring scheme launch likely to be deferred to Sep 25
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 9 (IANS) The Tamil Nadu governments ambitious Thaai Maman gold ring scheme for babies born in government hospitals is likely to be launched on September 25, instead of the previously announced date of September 15. Chief Minister Joseph Vijay announced the scheme on June 23 as part of the governments efforts to encourage more families to choose public hospitals for childbirth. Under the initiative, every eligible newborn will receive a one-gram ring made of 22-carat gold as a symbolic gift from the Thaai Maman, or maternal uncle. Although the formal launch was fixed for September 15, coinciding with the birth anniversary of former Chief Minister C.N. Annadurai, beneficiaries will include children born in government hospitals from June 22 onwards. The government has allocated Rs 755.83 crore for implementing the scheme over the next year. Orders have reportedly been placed for 4,41,667 gold rings. Jewellery retailer Joyalukkas secured 70 per cent of the supply contract, while Kalyan Jewellers was awarded the remaining 30 per cent. However, with only a few days remaining before the proposed inauguration, officials are preparing to reschedule the event because of the Chief Ministers official visit to London. Joseph Vijay is expected to leave Chennai for London via Dubai on Thursday on a seven-day visit aimed at attracting business investments to Tamil Nadu. During the trip, he is also reportedly expected to visit Silverstone to watch actor Ajith Kumar participate in a motor race. The Chief Minister is likely to return to Chennai on the night of September 16. He is scheduled to travel the following day to Madurai to attend the consecration ceremony at the Meenakshi Amman Temple. He is also expected to visit Virudhunagar to inaugurate the expansion of the Kamaraj Breakfast Scheme at the school where former Chief Minister K. Kamaraj studied. Given this packed official schedule, the government is unlikely to launch the gold ring programme on September 15. Preparations are reportedly underway to inaugurate the scheme at a government hospital in Usilampatti in Madurai district on September 25. An official announcement confirming the revised date and venue is expected shortly. The scheme is among the governments prominent welfare initiatives targeting maternal and infant healthcare.

Hindu Munnani plans Ganesh idol installations at 1.5 lakh locations across Tamil Nadu
Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 9 (IANS) Hindu Munnani is making extensive arrangements to install and worship Ganesh idols at 1.5 lakh locations across Tamil Nadu as part of the forthcoming Vinayaka Chaturthi celebrations, according to senior functionaries of the organisation. The planned installations will cover cities, towns and villages, giving the festival a wide reach across the State. District-level organisers have been instructed to coordinate the celebrations carefully and ensure that both the worship programmes and idol immersion processions are conducted in an orderly manner. Leaders of the organisation said detailed guidance had been issued to local units on managing the immersion processions without causing inconvenience to the public. The instructions are intended to help organisers regulate gatherings, coordinate the movement of processions and ensure that regular traffic and public activity face minimal disruption during the festivities. Environmental protection will also be a major consideration in this years celebrations. Hindu Munnani has asked its organisers to avoid idols made with chemicals or other materials that could pollute waterbodies. Steps are being taken to encourage the installation and worship of idols manufactured entirely from natural and environmentally-safe materials. Chennai is expected to witness celebrations on a particularly large scale, with Ganesh idols proposed to be installed at 5,501 locations across the city. Preparations for making giant idols are progressing rapidly at Ernavur in north Chennai, where artisans and organisers are working ahead of the festival. Among the prominent areas in the city where idols will be installed under the organisations supervision are Valluvar Kottam, Triplicane, north Chennai and Kottivakkam. These locations are expected to serve as important centres of worship and related festival activities. The organisation has also begun a special 10-day religious observance ahead of Vinayaka Chaturthi. Functionaries said the period would be used to prepare devotees and volunteers for the celebrations while finalising arrangements at the local and district levels. Organisers are expected to work with the authorities while planning installations and immersion routes. The focus, Hindu Munnani leaders said, would remain on celebrating the festival with devotion, public cooperation and environmental responsibility. Preparations will continue across Tamil Nadu as local units identify venues and complete arrangements for worship and immersion ceremonies. Volunteers will also be deployed at major venues to assist devotees and support the smooth conduct of public events statewide.
