“En Chennai Young Chennai. Anthem & Awards”
The origins of Chennai city can be traced back to 380 years to a small fishing hamlet bought by the Britishers to set up their trading activities and as the city is celebrating its 381st Foundation day, the nostalgia about history and heritage is the subject of Madras Day celebrations. As the city is growing up to becoming one of the major metropolises not just in the country, but also in the world, it is not just about the heritage of antiquity that has shaped up the growth of the city.
Chennai city is not growing older by the day. Chennai is getting younger with more and more people making it their city of dreams by migrating from various parts of the country and world. It is termed, rightfully so, the city of opportunities and dreams. Chennai has been, literally, in the eye of the storm, be it natural disasters or socio-political upheavals. Chennaities have played their role in shaping the destiny of the city of dreams.
“Enn Chennai Young Chennai” is an initiative to celebrate the energetic minds & tireless hands of young Chennaites who come together during turbulent times faced by Chennai during the last decade and a little more. These young Chennaites have contributed to the smooth functioning of our own “Chennai city” whenever it has struck due to natural calamities such as floods, cyclones, covid, etc., and never forgot to raise their voice for their rights such as Jallikattu or any other social cause that impact the society.
