Special Correspondent

CHENNAI: City-based artists, the Dhananjayans, have been chosen for the G.D. Birla International Award in art and culture category.

V.P. Dhananjayan and his wife Shantha will receive the award along with two social workers, Zokhumi Vankung of Mizoram for service to humanity and Percy Barnevik, a Swiss National, for his work in the rural areas of Tamil Nadu.

The award, which carries a purse of Rs.5 lakh, will be given away by Vice-President Hameed Ansari at a function in New Delhi on March 8.

“We are really humbled by this information, which came as a surprise… We once again seek your blessings and best wishes to continue to serve the art and culture of our nation,” the couple said in their message.
