Kodava Book Fair at Ponnampet Engineering College

Madikeri, Aug. 4: Children, along with emphasizing textbooks during their education, will be inclined towards stories and literature as a subject, which will facilitate their literary thinking in the future. This will give precise value to the articles written on their profession and service experience, said Karnataka Kodava Sahitya Academy President Ajnikanda C. Mahesh Nachaiah.

Speaking at the inauguration of the 15th Kodava Book Fair of Kodava Sahitya Academy at the auditorium of the Undergraduate Institute of Education at Ponnampet Engineering College, he said that each region has its own cultural background and regional differences. In our multicultural country of India, there are many castes, tribes, languages ​​and cultures, and it is the culture of this soil that makes us live in peace, harmony and brotherhood. Children should understand the cultural background and language characteristics of their respective regions from a young age. To facilitate this, the Kodava Academy has implemented the Kodava Book Depository Scheme, so that children can benefit from it.

In Kodava, in addition to the technical school established by the Kodava Education Society, countless children of undergraduate educational institutions are getting value-based education.
