Moodbidire, November. 17 : Alva’s Education Foundation, in the backdrop of Alva’s Nudisiri -2016, organized ‘’Vidyarthisiri” student literary cultural fest and ‘’Alva’s Cinisiri’’ on Thursday, at Ratnakarvarni Stage, Moodbidire.
After inaugurating the program Veteran Indian Theatre Actor, B. Jayashri lauding the contribution of Mohan Alva to preserving and fortifying the Kannada culture and tradition said, Alva’s Nudisiri is appears to be more grandeur than nada habba. Each and every individual should start loving Kannada culture and tradition along with preserving it for future generation. ‘’ We started loving and learning all other language, but it made us to forget our own mother tongue Kannada’’, she repented. Hence, these kinds of literary fests foster more Kannada language and culture among students.
Presiding over the function SDM English Medium School Belthangady pupil Ananya said, “Knowledge distinguishes humans from animals. That is the very reason our ancestors regarded formal education vital for the holistic growth of an individual. Even the age-old Vedas withhold the same purpose, she added.
‘Culture is the process of carving out an aspect to include all elements of goodness. Education serves the same purpose, and it wouldn’t be wrong to call the process of formal education as a culture in itself. Every individual grows up to be a collective product of his culture, she noted.
“A child inevitably instills in itself the ways of life of the adults in its family. A cultures family can hence give rise to a cultured society. It is therefore a responsibility of every adult to make sure that he is a cultured himself, because he influences every child that grows up watching his actions. We all aspire for a healthy society to live in. For that to happen, the foundational step would be to create a healthy society for children to grow up in’’, she added.
She added and said, “Cultural events are a key aspect in developing the mental horizons of students. Solely focusing on formal education will serve no purpose, and every student aspires to be a part of cultural or sports activities in one or another way. It would be a sin to deprive them of that interest and force them to study. These activities are as vital for the growth of students as is formal education.”
After inaugurating ‘’Alva’s Cinisiri’’ Veteran Film Maker Nagathihalli Chandrashekar said, ‘’we must work towards eliminating the unreasonable gap between films and literature. Films are also literature, but hardly anyone perceives it that way. Especially in the Kannada film industry, films and literature are considered to be two separate entities. There is a lot of work to be done in this direction in the Kannada industry.” he added.
“Alva’s film festival is a step serving this purpose. 12 films of varied genres are being projected for 3 days, and it is a wonderful opportunity for people to realize the extent of literary dependence and creativity in films. He added and said, one must not fail to notice the aspects for learning in the films.”
