Rasmi’s Social & Cultural Actvities:
The
fact that this publication received the Kerala
State Award for the best lay-out and printing in
1997, that is, just one year after starting ,
speaks volumes for its technical qualtiy. Though
started as a literary publication , Rasmi has
grown meanwhile (inbetween) into an institution
that is engaged in several cultural and charitable
activities as well. Rasmi collected, for example,
in 1999 thirteen used dialysis machines in good
working condition from German hospitals and
donated them to different hospitals in Kerala.
Rasmi acknowledges with genuine gratification the
fact that it could also contribute its own share
to the Tsunami Relief Fund . To the extra-literary
activities of Rasmi there belong today quite a
number such as organizing seminars,family
get-togethers, literary work-shops, study and
sight-seeing tours , cultural programmes like
Soorya festival etc. Though working still under
trying circumstances with a lot of financial
problems thanks to the close-fistedness of the
lipservice- doing subscribers, the magazine has
won sharp contour and has established itself as
the unmistakable voice of the non-resident
Keralite in Europe and elsewhere. |
