Suseela (Padma Bhushan); and Seerkazhi Sivachidambaram (eminent singer), Yella Venkateswara Rao (mridangist) and C.U. Velmurugendran (medicine) (all Padma Sree) had brought laurels in their chosen fields. (Mr. Anand and Dr. Velmurugendran were not present).
Congress MP T. Subbarami Reddy announced a cash award of Rs. one lakh to the Sangam for its services to Tamil music, art and literature.
Yadarthaa K. Penneswaran, Editor, Vadukku Vaasal, said the success of the awardees was worthy of emulation.
