Mysuru: Former Minister S.A. Ramdas released the calendar of the year 2025 brought out by Mysuru City Newspaper Distributors Association, at Pathrakartara Bhavan in the city yesterday.

Ramdas said, calendars have become an integral part of life, playing a key role in the daily activities. There are variety of calendars in the world, but the Gregorian (English) calendar is largely used, for the ease of identifying the years. Like several other organisations, Newspaper Distributors Association too has also published a calendar, which deserves an appreciation.

Efforts have been made to bring the newspaper distributors, who belong to unorganised sector, under PM SVANidhi Scheme, under which thousands of newspaper distributors across the State have been benefited. In the coming days, the newspaper distributors in the district and other places should focus on tapping the benefits under the scheme.

Mysuru District Journalists Association President K. Deepak said, the day begins with a look at the calendar, which is not just about numericals, but also a decisive part of life. “We have been obtaining everything for free, but peace, the efforts towards finding the same within begins by looking at the calendar. We should think about correcting our mistakes and lead the life,” he said.

Senior newspaper distributors were felicitated on the occasion. Mysuru City Newspaper Distributors Association President B. Suresh, Star of Mysore and Mysuru Mithra Circulation Manager T.S. Gopinath and Association office-bearers were present.
