What they say

B. Manivannan

B. Manivannan, Zonal Manager, LIC (South Zone):

When people have an eye for arts, financial downturn cannot be an obstacle. If not monetary support, they can definitely provide other kinds of assistance. It is our endeavour to support the music season as much as possible. For the last two years, we have been trying to support more sabhas. For this, we have also obtained a special budget from central office. As no hoardings are allowed in Chennai, the amount savedhas been given to sabhas.
