With the aim of encouraging more quality literary works in Tamil and helping economically poor writers, Chief Minister Jayalalithaa today directed that the income ceiling limit for persons seeking government assistance in this regard be increased.
Henceforth, persons earning Rs 50,000 per annum would be eligible to apply for financial assistance offered by the Department of Tamil Development, a government release here said.
Jayalalithaa directed that the ceiling be revised from Rs 25,000 since it was "very low," and that printing input costs have gone up with technological advancement.
The move would benefit many poor writers and enable their works to be published, the release added.
