Ananda Vikatan is a Tamil-language weekly magazine published from Chennai, India.[1]

History

Ananda Vikatan was started by Late Pudhoor Vaidyanadhaiyar in February 1926 as a monthly publication. The issue for December 1927 was not published due to financial difficulties. In January 1928 Subramaniam Srinivasan bought the rights from Vaidyanadhaiyer and relaunched the publication in February 1928 in a new format[2] He paid ₹200 (equivalent to ₹45,000 or US$530 in 2023) at the rate of ₹25 per letter in the Tamil language name (ஆனந்த விகடன்) of the publication to buy the rights.[3] He built it up into a weekly and sales soon rose. Veteran journalist and media personality and son of Subramaniam Srinivasan, S. Balasubramanian served as editor, managing director and publisher of the magazine for nearly 50 years till 2006.[4] He also started the "Manavar Thittam" or student journalism scheme that is active for the last 30 years and counting. He also launched Junior Vikatan, a biweekly Tamil investigative journal in the 1980s. He continues to be Chairman Emeritus of the group after handing over the reins to his son B. Srinivasan.
