Children's Storytelling Competition

Madikeri, Feb. 6: A children's storytelling competition was held at the Lions Hall in Madikeri by the Samartha Kannadigaru organization. Retired All India Radio announcer Subraya Sampaje inaugurated the program and said, "We raise children. At the same time, children raise us too. The real discipline is to involve children in their fields of interest and raise them." He said that the Samartha Kannadigaru group should also organize a song-telling program in the future. Police Inspector Chandrashekhar spoke and expressed his appreciation for the work of the group in instilling love and admiration for Kannada in young children and entertained them with his song.

Dr. Shilpa Satish spoke and said that 90 percent of the human brain development occurs within the age of six. Such storytelling workshops are helpful in instilling positive thinking in children. He said that elders should maintain the habit of telling stories to children. Jayalakshmi, District Coordinator of Samartha Kannadigaru Sanstha, presided over the event and said that storytelling and listening to stories are very helpful in increasing the imagination power of children, developing language skills, and developing moral values ​​along with increasing concentration and memory power. She said that since there are different programs in the Samartha Kannadigaru Sanstha program organized every year, there is a shortage of time to give special priority to the children's storytelling competition, so a separate storytelling competition has been organized. Lokesh Sagar, former president of Kodagu District Kannada Sahitya Parishad, who arrived as the chief guest, spoke at the closing ceremony. Na Kannadiga Tomy Thomas, president of Virajpet Taluk Janapada Parishad, spoke. Writer Sahana Kantabailu, Radhika Vishwanath, Vijayalakshmi and Shashikirana acted as judges.
