They're as bright and beautiful as they used to be.”</p><p>For Anupama, preserving craft is ultimately about changing how it is valued. “Craftspeople need fair wages and recognition for their work. Every Vama product carries a card naming the creators and explaining the process,” she says.</p> <figure><img alt="" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-10/qed25r2x/Manpreet-1.jpg" /></figure><p>At Pinjjai by H, craft is equally about the people behind every stitch. Founder Harman Seera began with two women artisans, spending nearly six months training them and developing her designs before her first collection of 10 pieces took shape.</p><p>An exhibition with Dastkar subsequently convinced her that contemporary products rooted in traditional crochet could create opportunities for more women artisans.</p><p>Today, Pinjjai works with rural women artisans, for whom crochet has become more than a traditional skill practised at home.</p><figure><img alt="Harman Seera" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-10/z30c5m85/IMG-20260908-WA0008.jpg" /><figcaption>Harman Seera</figcaption></figure><p>“It has given them financial independence, confidence, and a new respect for the craft they have known for years,” Harman says.</p><p>Some can now save, contribute to their families, and support their children’s education.</p><p>Harman also challenges the perception of crochet as merely a woollen, home-based craft. Pinjjai experiments with metallic threads, satin cords, raffia, ribbons and speciality yarns, while keeping the process slow and entirely dependent on the artisan’s hands. For her, innovation is simply asking of a traditional technique: “What else can this become?”</p><figure><img alt="Portarasan Subban" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-10/e5cyixd3/SAVE20260908154033.jpg" /><figcaption>Portarasan Subban</figcaption></figure><p>At Healing Pottery, founder Portarasan Subban’s relationship with clay is more personal. His Chennai-based creative space creates modern ceramic sculptures and functional objects, with the idea that healing begins with the process of making itself.</p><p>His connection to clay emerged during a difficult period in his life, when he felt unable to find a way forward. “It was clay that helped me come out of that phase and find myself again,” he says.</p><figure><img alt="Bags-Pinjjai by H" src="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-10/wcec84nx/73-1.jpg" /><figcaption>Bags-Pinjjai by H</figcaption></figure><p>After nearly 25 years in the field, he has also witnessed how artworks can become part of people’s everyday lives, carrying an emotional connection beyond their function.</p><p>He hopes that when people take a Healing Pottery piece home, they take with them “a feeling and an experience”, along with happiness, peace and meaning. Craftepreneur 2026 exhibition will be held from September 10 to 12 at The Folly, Amethyst.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>177 complaints received in private school recognition case: Chennai police to Madras HC </title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/177-complaints-received-in-private-school-recognition-case-chennai-police-to-madras-hc</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/177-complaints-received-in-private-school-recognition-case-chennai-police-to-madras-hc#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">9d7afb97-f20a-4554-b6a0-a218a100391a</guid><pubDate>Thu, 10 Sep 2026 02:10:53 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-09-10T02:10:53.656Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Chennai police,Madras High Court,private schools,complaints</media:keywords><media:content height="414" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/import/imported/import/Articles/2018/Feb/201802171811460754_Exemplary-costs-will-be-imposed-for-frivolous-PILs-Madras_SECVPF.gif" width="620"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Madras High Court]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Madras HC]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/import/imported/import/Articles/2018/Feb/201802171811460754_Exemplary-costs-will-be-imposed-for-frivolous-PILs-Madras_SECVPF.gif?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> As many as 177 <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/complaints">complaints </a>have been received in connection with the alleged collection of money from <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/private-school">private schools</a> by promising permanent recognition and other approvals, the government informed the <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/madras-high-court">Madras High Court</a>.</p><p>After the police submitted that investigation was under way and sought time to file response to the anticipatory bail petition filed by one of the accused, Justice V Lakshminarayanan adjourned the hearing to September 10.</p><p>According to the prosecution, the main accused, BT Arasakumar, had allegedly been scamming private schools for the past two years through an unregistered outfit, Tamil Nadu Private Schools Association, promising to secure permanent recognition, school upgradation, DTCP/CMDA approvals, and other statutory clearances by using his political and bureaucratic connections.</p><p>However, he allegedly failed to secure the promised approvals or refund the amounts collected from the schools and had allegedly swindled over Rs 100 crore. </p><aside><a href="https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/we-dont-follow-kafkaesque-trial-says-madras-high-court-upholds-accuseds-right-to-know">We don’t follow Kafkaesque trial, says Madras High Court; upholds accused’s right to know</a></aside><p>Based on a complaint filed by DC Elangovan, secretary of the Federation of Associations of Private Schools in Tamil Nadu, the Central Crime Branch of the Greater Chennai Police registered a case and arrested Arasakumar.

Commissioner GS Sameeran, <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/greater-chennai-corporation">Greater Chennai Corporation</a>, has issued detailed guidelines to identify and swiftly act against dilapidated structures across the city ahead of the <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/monsoon">monsoon</a>, with civic officials directed to ensure the safety of occupants, passersby and neighbouring properties.</p><p>Under the new rules, divisional assistant engineers (AEs) and junior engineers (JEs) will identify unsafe buildings during site inspections and alert unit assistant executive engineers (AEEs) and zonal executive engineers (EEs). A joint team comprising the AE, AEE and EE will then inspect the structure and assess its age and condition.</p><p>Where structural stability remains uncertain, the case will be referred to the Public Works Department (PWD), Anna University or IIT Madras for a formal safety assessment. Officials have also been instructed to check whether litigation is pending between property owners and tenants and strictly adhere to any existing court orders.</p><p>Based on expert reports, Regional Joint Commissioners or Deputy Commissioners will issue notices directing owners to carry out the recommended repairs within a specified time-frame. Where demolition is recommended, a formal notice will be served on the owner, with a copy issued to the tenants, under Section 258 of the Chennai City Municipal Corporation Act. If the owner fails to comply, the GCC will carry out the demolition and recover the cost from the property owner.</p><p>People refusing to vacate a structure declared dangerous will be evicted with police assistance, the guidelines said. </p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Dr V Mohan receives healthcare leadership award</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/dr-v-mohan-receives-healthcare-leadership-award</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/dr-v-mohan-receives-healthcare-leadership-award#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">dab04d5a-c7d2-40a3-82f2-968001fabe4c</guid><pubDate>Wed, 09 Sep 2026 14:21:09 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-09-09T14:21:09.464Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>DT NEXT Bureau</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371163</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Miami,Dr V Mohan,Healthcare</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-09/yd0l3ciu/Mohan-1.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Renowned diabetologist and researcher Dr V Mohan]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Renowned diabetologist and researcher Dr V Mohan]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-09/yd0l3ciu/Mohan-1.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> Renowned diabetologist and researcher Dr V Mohan, chairman of Dr. Mohan’s <a href="https://www.dtnext.in/topic/diabetes">Diabetes</a> Specialities Centre and Madras Diabetes Research Foundation, has been conferred the Dr Herbert and Nicole Wertheim Leadership Award in Healthcare and Medicine by Florida International University (FIU), Miami.</p><p>The award was presented on September 8 in recognition of Dr Mohan’s distinguished contributions to diabetes research, healthcare and precision approaches to diabetes therapy.</p><p>During his address, Dr Mohan highlighted the importance of precision diabetes for Asian Indian and South Asian populations, noting that diabetes often develops among Indians at younger ages and lower levels of obesity.</p><p>His research spanning epidemiology, genetics, metabolic phenotyping and diabetes complications has contributed significantly to understanding the distinctive characteristics of diabetes among Asian Indians.</p><p>Dr Mohan has previously received honours from Emory, Michigan, Stanford and Harvard universities. </p><aside><a href="https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/dr-v-mohan-receives-dr-apj-abdul-kalam-award-by-tn-govt-for-contribution-to-diabetes-research">Dr V Mohan receives Dr APJ Abdul Kalam Award by TN govt for contribution to diabetes research </a></aside>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Chennai: Actor attacked with knife, threatened over court appearance</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-actor-attacked-with-knife-threatened-over-court-appearance</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-actor-attacked-with-knife-threatened-over-court-appearance#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">ca383807-6ca5-46a9-b55c-9f6f9c92eba5</guid><pubDate>Wed, 09 Sep 2026 10:16:12 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-09-09T10:16:12.985Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>Online Desk</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371166</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>knife attack,actor,Mettukuppam</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-09/kcc4qtz6/Knife.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Representative Image]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Representative Image]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-09-09/kcc4qtz6/Knife.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI:</strong> A 35-year-old film writer and supporting <a href="https://www.dailythanthi.com/news/tamilnadu/supporting-actor-slashed-with-a-knife-in-koyambedu-unidentified-individuals-brazenly-barged-into-his-home">actor</a> was allegedly attacked by two unidentified men who barged into his house in Koyambedu on Monday night and assaulted him with a knife. </p><p>The injured man, identified as Antony Thomas of Govardhan Nagar in Mettukuppam, has been working as a film writer and supporting actor in several movies. His mother Pushpalatha is also a supporting actor in television serials.</p><p>According to a <a href="https://www.dailythanthi.com/news/tamilnadu/supporting-actor-slashed-with-a-knife-in-koyambedu-unidentified-individuals-brazenly-barged-into-his-home">Daily Thanthi</a> report, Antony was at home when two men armed with knives entered the house and attacked him on the head. The duo allegedly warned him not to appear in court the next day and demanded that he withdraw a complaint lodged with the police.</p><p>The attackers then fled the scene. Antony, who suffered injuries on his head, was admitted to a nearby hospital for treatment. Based on his complaint, Koyambedu police registered a case and launched an investigation to identify the suspects.</p><h2>Money dispute under scanner</h2><p>During preliminary inquiry, police found that Antony had lodged a complaint with Koyambedu police in May against one Satheesh Singh over a money transaction dispute. He had also approached the Madras High Court in connection with the issue.</p><p>Antony was scheduled to appear before the court on Tuesday in connection with the case. He told police that the unidentified men barged into his house on Monday night and attacked him, allegedly warning him not to appear in court.</p><h2>Social media post under scanner</h2><p>Police are also probing whether the attack was linked to a recent social media controversy involving Antony's mother. Pushpalatha had reportedly posted a message supporting Chief Minister Vijay on social media last month. She later lodged a complaint with Virugambakkam police against a person allegedly belonging to the DMK for posting abusive comments on the social media post.</p><p>Police are probing various angles, including the money dispute and the social media controversy, to ascertain the motive behind the attack. </p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title>Chennai gold price falls by Rs 1,000 on September 9, 2026; check today&apos;s gold, silver rate</title><link>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-gold-price-falls-by-rs-1000-on-september-9-2026-check-todays-gold-silver-rate</link><comments>https://www.dtnext.in/news/chennai/chennai-gold-price-falls-by-rs-1000-on-september-9-2026-check-todays-gold-silver-rate#comments</comments><guid isPermaLink="false">673f2817-d0cd-4dcb-9221-c8c41ab00d50</guid><pubDate>Wed, 09 Sep 2026 04:50:50 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2026-09-09T04:50:50.778Z</atom:updated><atom:author><atom:name>Online Desk</atom:name><atom:uri>/api/author/2371166</atom:uri></atom:author><description></description><media:keywords>Gold price today,Silver price today,Gold and Silver price in Chennai</media:keywords><media:content height="900" medium="image" url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-01-08/ppzk4gq1/gold.jpg" width="1600"><media:title type="html"><![CDATA[ Representative Image]]></media:title><media:description type="html"><![CDATA[ Gold jewellery ]]></media:description></media:content><media:thumbnail url="https://media.assettype.com/dt-next/2026-01-08/ppzk4gq1/gold.jpg?w=280" width="280"></media:thumbnail><category>Chennai</category><content:encoded><![CDATA[ <p><strong>CHENNAI</strong>: The price of gold in the city decreased by Rs 1,000 per sovereign on Wednesday (September 9).</p><p>The yellow metal is now priced at Rs 1,13,160 per sovereign and Rs 14,145 per gram, after a decrease of Rs 125 per gram.</p><p>Earlier, on September 8, the yellow metal was priced at Rs 1,14,160 per sovereign and Rs 14,270 per gram.</p><h2>Silver price remain unchanged</h2><p>Meanwhile, silver prices remained unchanged at Rs 255 per gram (Rs 2,55,000 per kg) on September 9.</p><p>On September 8, silver was priced at Rs 255 per gram.</p><h2>Gold rate today vs gold rate on this day, last year</h2><p>Gold remains significantly higher compared to last year.
