Behindwoods hit a massive fifth year with our in-house Behindwoods Gold Medal Awards 2018. The event was conducted on June 17th in Chennai Trade Centre. The event was a joyous moment for all and a definite proud evening.
It was not just an evening emphasizing the work of film stars, we went beyond to honor people who have made significant contributions to the welfare of the society and our state. We were proud to present 4 humanity-based awards for Eminence in Service to Mankind. The proud winners were S.R Jangid, Palam Kalyanasundaram, Shanmugam, and Malarkodi.
One of the most iconic categories we presented this year was 'The person of the year' award underlying the Youth of Tamil Nadu, appreciating their momentous contributions towards the Jallikattu protest in 2017. The award was presented by Palam Kalyanasundaram to a collective number of 10 individuals who confidently initiated and lead the protest from Chennai and Madurai.
In line with honoring the Tamil Nadu youth award, Mr. Saravana Arul, Managing Director of Saravana Selvarathinam had donated an amount of 3 lakhs to St. Peter's Higher Secondary School to improvise the education among the underprivileged children.
Unfortunately, Mr. Saravana Arul could not join us due to health issues, but the cheque was presented by our Eminence award winner Palam Kalyanasundaram and received by Brother George, Vice Principal of St. Peters Higher Secondary School.
