Gonikoppal, Oct. 28: Donation and religion play an important role in the culture of Kodagu. Even today, schools and colleges are successfully running due to the donations made by donors from Kodagu to the organizations and schools around us. Every citizen will get satisfaction by donating in the best way possible, said A.S. Ponnanna, MLA from Virajpet assembly constituency and legal advisor to the Chief Minister.
At a felicitation ceremony organized by the management board of Bhagavathi Yuvathi Mandali, which includes four villages around the limits of Hathur Gram Panchayat, MLA Ponnanna felicitated and honored social worker, member of Hathur Gram Panchayat and President of Vanabhadrakali Temple Kokkanda D. Gini Ganapathy.
Continuing his speech, he said that the society should recognize those who have donated. This will inspire other donors. In today's society, only those who hesitate to clear a few feet of space when constructing a road for the benefit of the public can be seen. Sometimes, for the development of the village, one should cooperate in good work. Every citizen should be involved in social work, he called upon the gathered citizens.
Bhagavati Yuvathi Board President Kokkanda Roop Bhimaiah spoke in the introduction and said that Kokkanda Gini Ganapathi, a social worker, has been cooperating in many ways for the development of the village. We have undertaken the task of identifying such social workers. Gini Ganapathi has shown generosity by donating 18 lakhs in just one hour to various works in the social and educational sectors. He said that the presence of such donors in today's society has helped in the continuation of public sector works without expecting government grants and development works.
Donor Kokkanda Gini Ganapathy, after receiving the award from Bhagavathi Yuvathi Mandali, said that he had decided to donate a part of his earnings to the society. Now that such an opportunity has come, I have given my best to different sectors of the society. May it be utilized well, he said.
Kodandera Bond Ganapathy, President of Kodagu District Central Cooperative Bank, presided over the event and said that there are many donors among us. They have been providing cooperation to various sectors without seeking any benefits. Social worker Kokkanda Gini Ganapathy is also one of them. He said that the society has recognized their generosity.
