Kanive, Feb. 17: The dream of Mahatma Gandhiji for the upliftment of villages is losing its essence due to the urbanization of the modern world, said Chamarajanagar University Vice Chancellor Prof. M.R. Gagadhar.
He was speaking while inaugurating a one-day National Conference organized by Kodagu University, Karnataka Gandhi Memorial Fund, Bangalore National Service Scheme, Youth Empowerment and Sports Department as part of the 75th anniversary of the Land Donation Movement and the celebration of Gandhiji's autobiography, Khunara Sambraham, at the Kodagu University Gyan Kaveri campus. Gandhiji lived on the path of truth, knowing the truth that any gain or acquisition is possible only through non-violence.
At a time when villages are becoming urbanized, the original culture, heritage, customs and beliefs of villages have been affected by urbanization. Per cent. Gangadhar lamented that it is sad to see 20 percent villages and 80 percent cities.
