Thiruvananthapuram: The Mega Event Award for the best show in the mega-show events held in conjunction with the third edition of the Kerala Legislative Assembly International Book Festival from January 7 to 13 went to ‘Madhyamam’. The award went to ‘Madhyamam Harmonious Kerala’, which has become a celebration of humanity in the Gulf countries and Kerala. Reporter Channel, which presented the ‘Legislature Carnival’, was selected for second place, while Kairali Channel, which presented the ‘Eenam Mega Event’, was selected for third place. The jury, which included Pramod Payyannoor, Dr Neena Prasad, and Shaji C Baby, decided the award winners.
The Madhyamam ‘Harmonious Kerala’ started the celebration of the diaspora community by bringing together the expatriate Malayalis, who had become the mainstay of survival when Kerala was devastated by the floods of 2018. Later, it became a celebration that brought Malayalis closer to each other in the Gulf countries. More than just a celebration, each season of Harmonious Kerala was a rare moment where Kerala and the diaspora came together. Many world-renowned stars lined up at the stages of Harmonious Kerala.
