Awards can be kept safely, Nanjiyamma gets a new house 

nanjiyamma-

PALAKKAD: National award winner Nanjiyamma finally gets a new house. A foundation called Philokalia constructed the house for her. She was staying in an insecure house in Attapadi for a long time. She had many times said that she doesn’t have a house to keep the awards received. The foundation Philokalia decided to build a house for her after seeing her pathetic situation. The foundation stone of the house was laid three months ago. The work was completed quickly and Nanjiyamma has shifted to her new house.

The new house is built next to her old house. Nanjiyamma can now keep her awards safely here. Nanjiyamma became famous through late director Sachy's Ayyappanum Koshiyum. The song sung by Nanjiyamma in the film won the national award for best female singer.

However, musician Linu Lal came forward criticizing for giving her the national award. Linu asked whether the song sung by Nanjiyamma was the best song of last year. He criticized saying that she will not be able to sing a normal song even if she was given a month and this recognition is an insult to those who dedicated their lives for music. However, she did not take the controversy seriously.
