K. Rajan inaugurates district-level Praveshanolsavam in Thrissur
Speaking on the occasion, the Minister said State's public education system is witnessing a new and promising transformation. 'The impact of the Public Education Protection Campaign is visible in every school, where education now goes beyond textbooks to touch lives,' he noted. He stressed that education must reflect the emotions and needs of the people and not just focus on marks or exams, but on building a well-informed, compassionate society.
The Minister also spoke about ₹15-crore development works carried out at the school over the past nine years, highlighting infrastructure improvements. He said a colourful rally will be held from the school to the upcoming Puthur Zoological Park, set to open after the Onam holidays, as a symbol of community engagement with education and nature.
The ceremony featured a live screening of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan's State-level Praveshanolsavam inauguration. Students performed the official welcome song through dance. Meritorious students who received LSS, USS, and NMMS scholarships, along with Thrissur native Triloknath, who featured in the International World Book of Records, and high school Mathematics teacher A.S. Saritha, who earned her PhD from Calicut University, were honoured during the function.
Students took the 'Clean Kerala' pledge, and the district sanitation poster was released as part of the Haritha Mission. Children's cultural performances added colour and joy to the event.
District panchayat president V.S. Prince presided over the event.

Tradition beckons: Village moulds ‘Onathappans' against all odds
KOCHI: As the spirit of Onam begins to sweep Kerala, a quiet hamlet on the outskirts of Kochi is busy sustaining a fading tradition. In Karumalloor, a historic hub for pottery, a handful of families are racing against time and challenges to craft 'Onathappan' and other clay artefacts, essential to the ten-day festival. Their efforts, a mix of ancestral skill and modern ingenuity, are ensuring that this cherished aspect of Onam festivities continues to thrive. The once-plentiful clay fields of Kerala are no longer accessible due to a 2015 ban on dredging, which was aimed at preventing deep trenching for brick-making that harmed agriculture. With the shortage of clay, the main ingredient, the pottery-making itself has been dwindling over the years, not to mention about 'Onathappan'. The clay pyramid-like structure symbolising Lord Vishnu's Vamana avatar is a must for many households in the central region to observe Onam in the traditional way. They place the clay structure along with 'athapookalam' – the flower carpet that is laid out during the 10-day festive season. But a handful of potters like Thoppil Unni, from Thoppe in Karumalloor, where nearly 100 families were engaged in the traditional craft till a decade back, continue undeterred. Unni now sources his primary raw material from outside the state, mostly Bengaluru, bringing in multiple types of clay to ensure the right consistency for his products. 'We've started making 'Onathappan' pieces of varying sizes for the upcoming festive season. A single piece has four faces and a flat top. We usually make at least 1,500 sets. A set consists of three big and two small pieces. They sell like hotcakes. During Onam, our people go to the Thrikkakara temple premises and Tripunithura to sell products. Tripunithura is especially a good market, the largest for Onathappans in the state. A trader can hope to get business of at least `10,000 a day there. Households in the central region consider the clay structures essential to celebrating Onam,' Unni says. Potters can source clay from the outskirts of Bengaluru for `2.50/kg, though powdered clay would cost double that. However, they have to meet transportation costs. 'If we sell Onathappans directly, a single piece can fetch Rs 50. We charge up to Rs 250 for larger models. Those are mainly sold on the eve of Thiruvonam. Others are medium-sized. We sell a single set for Rs 200,' he adds.

Nagpur Bhosale Dynasty Founder's Historic Sword Returns To Maharashtra After 200 Years
Last Updated: The sword belonged to Raghuji Bhosale, a fearless commander under Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj, who gave him the title Senasahib Subha for his bravery and strategic skill News18 A priceless piece of Maratha history is finally returning home. The sword of Raghuji Bhosale—the legendary founder of the Nagpur Bhosale dynasty and one of the most daring commanders in the Maratha army—has been secured by the Maharashtra government from London and will arrive in Mumbai on August 18. The sword was unexpectedly put up for auction on April 28 this year, sparking excitement and pride across Maharashtra. As soon as cultural affairs minister Ashish Shelar heard about it, he discussed the matter with Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. Determined to bring the sword back to India, the government worked quickly, coordinating with the Indian Embassy and appointing an intermediary to participate in the auction. Their swift action paid off, and Maharashtra won the bid. This week in London, Shelar met the intermediary, completed all the legal procedures, and officially took possession of the sword. For the first time in its history, the state has brought back a historic artefact from abroad through an auction. 'This is not just a weapon, it's a witness to our glorious past," Shelar said, calling the moment a victory for every citizen of Maharashtra. The event drew several Marathi-speaking people living in London, who came to witness this special moment. Deputy Director of the Archaeology Department, Hemant Dalvi, was also present during the handover. The sword will land at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport at 10am on August 18. It will then be taken in a bike rally to PL Deshpande Kala Academy in Dadar, where it will be displayed during a programme called Gad Garjana. Raghuji Bhosale I (1695 – 1755) was a fearless commander under Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj, who gave him the title Senasahib Subha for his bravery and strategic skill. He led successful campaigns in Bengal, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and parts of South India, expanding the Maratha Empire's reach. The sword is a Maratha-style Firangi — a straight, single-edged European blade fitted with a gold-inlaid Mulheri hilt. Near the hilt, the name 'Shreemant Raghoji Bhosale Senasahib Subha Firang" is inscribed in Devanagari, confirming its royal ownership. Its gold koftgari decoration makes it rare, as most Maratha weapons were functional and unadorned. Historians believe the sword may have left India after the 1817 Battle of Sitabuldi, when the British East India Company defeated the Nagpur Bhosales and seized their treasures. Now, after more than two centuries abroad, the sword is returning to the land where it was forged, fought with, and celebrated—a homecoming that carries both pride and history for Maharashtra. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
