Dhanush is a big star in South India, known for his acting skills and box office power. This year’s Pongal festival is extra special for him, as his new movie “Captain Miller” just came out! But before we talk about that, let’s take a trip down memory lane and see how Dhanush did on Pongal in the past.

Back in 2005, Dhanush’s first Pongal release was a love story called “Boopathy.” It was a hit, even though it came out alongside three other big movies, including Vijay’s “Thirupaachi.” This showed everyone that Dhanush could hold his own at the box office.

Two years later, in 2009, Dhanush had another Pongal success with “Padikkadavan.” This time, he even beat Vijay’s movie! “Padikkadavan” was a mix of comedy and romance, and it kept everyone entertained.

In 2010, Dhanush tried again with “Kutty,” but this time things were different. This movie was a remake of another film, and it got mixed reviews at first. But people started to like it more and more, and it ended up doing well in the theaters.

The next year, 2011, was when Dhanush made history. His movie “Aadukalam” came out on Pongal, and it went head-to-head with two other big stars, Vijay and Karthi. But “Aadukalam” won everyone’s hearts! It became Dhanush’s biggest hit ever, and he even won a National Award for his acting.

So, there you have it! Dhanush has a long and successful track record of Pongal releases. Now, let’s see how “Captain Miller” does!

How year after year, Indore was named the cleanest city in India

Remember back in 2016? Indore wasn’t even in the top 25 cleanest cities. So, how did it jump to the top spot and stay there for 7 years? Buckle up, because we’re about to explore the secrets of Indore’s success!

To determine cleanliness, the Union Housing and Urban Affairs Ministry conducts the Swachh Survekshan Awards, initiated as part of the Swachh Bharat Mission. The evaluation is based on two main criteria – citizen feedback and field assessment.

Since sanitation falls under the jurisdiction of state governments, they are responsible for updating data on the Swachh Bharat Mission Management Information System (MIS). Each aspect being assessed, such as segregated garbage collection, undergoes validation through Citizen Validation in Residential and Commercial Areas in each ward on a sampling basis.

Citizens are asked questions about waste collection and its frequency, and their responses are validated. On-field assessors visit households and shops randomly to record these responses. The criteria for evaluation may vary depending on the specific issue being surveyed. For instance, when assessing technical support for sanitation workers, the marking scheme considers factors like the issuance of Identity cards (IDs) to informal waste pickers and the provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) kits.
