Kannada Sahitya Parishat Organises Endowment Programme in Ponnampet

Ponnampet, Nov 11: A lecture program focusing on the freedom fighters of the Kodagu district was organized at the auditorium of Sai Shankar Educational Institutions in Ponnampet. The event was held under the auspices of the Kodagu District Kannada Sahitya Parishat and Sai Shankar Educational Institutions, in connection with the 'Late Kaibulira Bopayya Endowment' and the 'Late Gangadhar Shet - Sulochana Bai Endowment'.

Speaking as a resource person, H.R. Nalini, a Kannada teacher at the Ponnampet Government High School, stated that those who forget history cannot shape the future. She emphasized that only by understanding the struggles, sacrifices, and martyrdom of the past can the next generation grasp the significance of the nation's history and heritage. Many great individuals fought to liberate the country from British rule. She noted that the 'Amara Sullia Uprising' took place in 1837—two decades before the Sepoy Mutiny of 1857—yet it is regrettable that this significant struggle has not received the recognition it deserves in history.

M.P. Keshava Kamath, President of the District Kannada Sahitya Parishat, spoke on the occasion and urged students to visit libraries and cultivate the habit of reading books. Through reading, one can gain an understanding of the history, heritage, and culture of this land. Reading newspapers and books instills the self-confidence needed to face competitive examinations. Therefore, it was advised to stay away from mobile phones and television and to focus more on reading.
