Raghava Lawrence honoured with an award

For an artiste, any kind of award proves to be a big encouragement. And in Raghava Lawrence’s case, this particular award has not only encouraged him to do more for the society, but also moved him to tears. The choreographer-actor-director has been honoured with the ‘Five Rupees Doctor’ award by Thai Anbu Trust.
A source in the know says, “It was the first death anniversary of Royapuram-based Dr S Jayachandran, who treated patients for just five rupees.A beloved of the working class, Dr Jayachandran was of the opinion that medical services should be available to everyone, irrespective of their socio-economic status. In memory of this good Samaritan, the trust has honoured Lawrence, who is known for his philanthropic activities, with Dr S Jayachandran award. An emotional Lawrence profusely thanked everyone for the award and promised to do his best for others.”
Interestingly, Lawrence was bestowed with Annai Teresa award last year.
