KOTTAYAM: Bengal Governor Dr CV Ananda Bose said that Kerala Kaumudi is a newspaper that stands for truth. He was inaugurating 'Rajatholsavam', the silver jubilee celebration of Kerala Kaumudi Kottayam Unit, at KPS Menon Hall, Kottayam.

"Kerala Kaumudi, which has won the hearts of the people throughout a century, has made immeasurable contributions to the development of Kerala. Media are the most powerful institutions on earth. Media can control the minds of the people. There should be newspapers even if there is no government. Newspapers are that important. If you say newspaper editor in Kerala, it is K Sukumaran. He was a newspaper editor who identified himself with the field of work so much. Kerala Kaumudi, which shines in the media field on the foundation that 'development is what is needed, not controversies', has always moved its pen for social change," said the Governor of Bengal.

The Governor also released the special edition released on the occasion of the Silver Jubilee celebrations and honored those who have made their mark in various fields.
