CHENNAI: Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi released a Braille book on the life and works of Dravidar Kazhagam founder Periyar E.V. Ramasamy at his Gopalapuram residence on Wednesday.
The book, released on the occasion of the 130th birth anniversary of Periyar, was received by N.S. Beno Sebin, student of Stella Maris College, who attended the Young Leaders Conference in the US with financial assistance from Local Administration Minister M.K. Stalin.
When Ms. Sebin read out a few paragraphs from the book, the Chief Minister appreciated her. Electricity Minister Arcot N. Veeraswami, Mr. Stalin, PWD Minister Durai Murugan and DMK MP Kanimozhi were present.

The author is Thanjavur-based Thinkers Forum founder R. Rathinagiri. Later, it was translated into English and released by former President K.R. Narayanan when he visited Kalaignar Karuvoolam at the DMK headquarters.
The book will soon be released in Hindi, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam. Mr. Karunanidhi is taking efforts to publish the book in Bengali, Assamese, Punjabi, Gujarati, Nepali, Oriya, Urdu and Sanskrit in New Delhi.
