Karnataka Rajyotsava Celebrated at Sahyadri with Fervour
02-Nov-2020
By showering flower petals on the photo of The Karnataka Maathe, Karnataka Rajyotsava was celebrated at Sahyadri with utmost fervour and dedication. The celebration started with the singing of State Anthem by Prof. Jayapadmini, Dept. of Information Science & Engineering.
Prof. Rajesha S., Pricipal presided over the programme.
In his Presidential speech, Prof. Rajesha ruefully expressed about the lack of knowledge of Kannada vocabulary among today’s generation.
He pointed out that any amount of unique words of Kannada can be found only in dictionaries. Keep them alive, he urged the audience.
Prof. Rajesha further stated that it is the moral responsibility of the elders to teach the younger generation by familiarising them with the new Kannada vocabulary and improvising it.
Prof. Rajesha illustrated by giving the example of Mother-Child relationship and how it is inexpressible. In the same way, he continued to say, one should have the attachment with Kannada, our state language. Only by developing such attachment, Kannada language which is sadly undervalued by today’s generation, can be brought to the foreground. He concluded by saying this way we can feel Kannada in our breath and pride ourselves over being Kannadigas.
In her Preamble speech Prof. Akshaya Shetty, Dept. of MBA, spoke about the historical movement for Karnataka integration. On 1 November 1956 the Kannada speaking people were combined and Mysore state was made, which after two decades on 1 November 1976, was renamed as Karnataka state. She explained the significance of the state flag and concluded her speech by saying “Let the love for Kannada be not limited only to the month of November.”
All Dept. Heads, teaching & non-teaching faculties were present for the programme.
