Gonikoppalu, Sept. 10: The 47th Annual General Body Meeting of the Gonikoppalu Sri Kaveri Dasara Committee was held at the old Panchayat hall under the chairmanship of Committee President Kullachanda Pramod Ganapathi. Heated discussions that began at the start of the meeting continued right through to the President's address.
Various issues were discussed, including the drafting of new bylaws, the selection of the next president, increasing grants for the ten *Mantapas* (processional tableaux), providing greater encouragement to artists, discontinuing the practice of repeating the same programs, addressing the issue of switching off *Mantapa* lights on the procession day (which disappoints the public), increasing prize money for *Mantapas*, submitting a petition to the Supreme Court regarding the use of DJs, presenting accounts, inducting *Mantapa* presidents into the main committee, and initiating the construction of a permanent stage using saved funds.
Kadyamada Chetan, Working President of the 'Snehitara Balaga Koppa Dasara Committee' (one of the ten *Mantapa* committees), proposed an increase in the grant amount. Representatives from other committees—K. Rajesh (Yuva Dasara Committee), Muruga (Sarvara Dasara Committee), K.P. Abdul Jaleel (Navachetana Dasara Committee), and H.S. (Aruvatthokkalu Sharadamba Dasara Committee)—also participated. Sajan, along with senior committee members Malavanda Arvind Kuttappa, M.P. Keshav Kamath, P.K. Praveen, Prabhakar Nellittaya, and others, drew attention to the upcoming Dasara celebrations.
