At this wedding, guests were asked to gift only school books

Green activist Jawagar Subramaniam turned the wedding reception of his  26-year-old daughter into an occasion for people to help tribal students. Guests who came to wish S V Swarna Prabha and M K Thiruvikram at the Ayyappa Seva Sangam marriage hall in Ramanagar on Wednesday evening brought books as gifts. 

Jawagar, who is actively engaged in reviving water bodies and planting saplings, suggested this to his relatives and friends, and they responded by donating coaching manuals on cracking UPSC exams, books on history, self-development Tamil literature, etc .
