17 eminent personalities receive Loyola Alumni Award 2025 as part of centenary celebrations
A total of 17 eminent personalities on Sunday received the Loyola Alumni Award - 2025 as part of the Centenary celebrations. Delivering the presidential address, Loyola Alumni Association president G. Viswanathan said, 'If you get a seat in Loyola, it is not an ordinary thing, because this can take you to any heights in life. For example, I came here as a boy from a village in 1957. As I studied in the Tamil medium, it was difficult for me (in Loyola). After four years, when I left Loyola, I was an orator. I was representing Loyola in intercollegiate debates. I follow the same discipline in VIT University that I was taught in Loyola College, and we are very successful. If at all, there is any credit, it should go to Loyola College.' Loyola College Rector Rev. Fr. Antony Robinson presented the awards and pointed to the role played by Loyola College in educating the poor and marginalised students, so that they have a dignified life. The recipients of awards include: Professional Excellence Award - 2025, former High Court Chief Justice R. Sudhakar, Meleveetil Damodaran IAS, P. Wilson MP Rajya Sabha; Service Excellence Award - 2025 - S. Davidson Devasirvatham IPS, J. Premanand IRS; Guiding Light of the Year Award - 2025, Media Development Foundation and Asian College of Journalism Chairman Sashi Kumar and educationist V.M. Muralidharan; Business Leader of the Year Award - 2025 - Sarath Reddy; Research Excellence Award - 2025 Dr. V. Mohan; Global Excellence Award - 2025, M. Raghuraman; Sporting Excellence Award – 2025 -Viswanathan Anand and Sharath Kamal; Creative Excellence Award - 2025 - Gayatri Pushkar, Vijay Antony and Kiruthiga Udhayanidhi; Friends of Loyola Award - G.K.

Lygon Street hatted restaurant Etta to open more affordable sibling (and it's close by)
Hannah Green – owner of hatted Brunswick East restaurant Etta and winner of the Service Excellence Award in the 2024 Good Food Guide – is expanding her footprint on Lygon Street, opening neighbourhood venue Daphne a few doors down from Etta. Following the closure of pizzeria Bar Romantica, Green will this September revive the site as a 125-seat bar and restaurant with an easygoing, all-are-welcome vibe. 'The need for something a little less stuffy ... was always in my mind for my next thing,' says Green. 'Approachability and [a more affordable] price are at the heart of Daphne.' In recent years, the cooking at Etta has sharpened so excitingly – under past head chef Rosheen Kaul and now Lorcan Kan – that diners see it as an occasion restaurant, rather than somewhere to pop in on a whim.
