|March 21, 2025
SUN glitter off Kochi's Marine Drive shimmered brighter than usual on Thursday evening as TNIE honoured 15 women icons with its Devi Awards ceremony at Taj Vivanta for their outstanding contributions in various fields, ranging from feminist activism to fashion innovation.
Since its inception in 2014, the Devi Awards series has feted over 375 exceptional women achievers across India. Women who have scripted stories that inspire.
The 32nd edition saw Kerala Governor Rajendra Vishwanath Arlekar felicitate 15 'Devis' who have made an indelible mark with their talent, tenacity and triumph. He was joined by TNIE Group CEO Lakshmi Menon, Editorial Director Prabhu Chawla, and Kerala Resident Editor Kiran Prakash in celebrating the following role models:
V P Suhara (social activist and writer), Maya Mohan (educator), Rev. Sister Roselin (founder of Snehatheeram), Sudha Chandran (forest guide), P G Deepamol (ambulance driver), V J Joshitha (cricketer), Usha Nangiar (Koodiyattam exponent), Poornima Indrajith (actor & designer), Sreekumari Ramachandran (writer), Latha K (celebrity chef), Sheela Kochouseph (entrepreneur), R N Rejitha (CRMG crane operator), and Team Ezha (Swathy Subramanian, Savita Rajan, and Ritu Sara Thomas — heritage conservation and architectural design consultants).
