Dear Readers of Dravida Pozhil,
- Hearty wishes for the Tamil New Year. May every home rejoice on this Thai ThirunaaL - Pongal Festival.
- Our Research Journal is now 2 years of age. Happy Birthday to Dravida Pozhil.
- The birthday celebration is not only to the journal. The Chancellor of our University, our dear Aasiriyar Veeramani turned 90 years last month. More than ever, he is youthfully indulgent in his rational service. Our birthday wishes to him.
Thus, this issue carries a plethora of warm wishes amidst the celebrations of a happy Pongal.
