July 11, 2011

Mangalore, July 11: There is a necessity to set up a University for Yakshagana on the lines of the University for folk arts established by the Karnataka government, demanded the Karnataka Yakshagana and Bayalata Academy President Kumble Sundar Rao.



He was speaking after receiving felicitation by Sri Idagunji Mahaganapathi Yakshagana Mandali, Keremane on the inaugural function of 'Yakshatriveni,' a three-day Yakshagana fest at Town Hall on Sunday.


Thrusting on the need for the constitution of a university like study centre for the in-depth study of indigenous art form of coastal region, he said Yakshagana tops all other folk art forms of the State. Yakshagana is an art form which represents Karnataka for the richness of the art, he said.


He also informed that the Academy has contemplated to publish Yakshagana text books for the school students, which would help the enthusiast younger generation to learn the art form. “The matter will be discussed in the next Academy meeting and the efforts will be made to introduce the books in the next academic year,” said the Academy President.


He asked the parents to introduce Yakshagana to their children so that the children can develop an interest towards the art form. There are several Yakshagana training centres imparting the basics of Yakshagana. The youngsters should make use of it, he insisted.


Responding to the felicitation he said: “I always question myself if I am really eligible to receive all the honour and respect from the people and the fact that I am a Yakshagana artiste makes me believe that I deserve the honour. It is only the Yakshagana which has helped me to grow as a person. Yakshagana helps in the all round development of an individual's personality, meanwhile, it also makes a place culturally rich,” he opined.


Mangalore University Registrar K Chinnappa Gowda informed that a full-fledged museum of Badaguthittu Yakshagana form will be set up in the Mangalore University soon. “At present, the Yakshagana museum in the University exhibits only the materials related to Thenkuthittu Yakshagana. With the support of the donor Dayananda Pai, the University has decided to exhibit even the materials related to Badaguthittu style,” he said.The artistes performed 'Subhadra Parinaya' in Badaguthittu style, on the occasion.

Mangaluru, July 29: Justifying the transfer of Dakshina Kannada deputy commissioner Sindhu B Rupesh, district in-charge minister Kota Shrinivas Poojari has accused Mangaluru MLA U T Khader of politicizing the issue. 

The IAS officer was transferred by the Karnataka government on July 28, a day after a saffron activist issued a death threat against her on social media after she warned of legal action against the miscreants who attack cattle traders.

Condemning the development, Mr Khader had tweeted that the state government has punished the deputy commissioner instead of punishing the culprit, who issued death threat.

Responding to Mr Khader’s tweet, Mr Poojari said that the transfer of the officer was on administrative ground. “It is unfortunate that Khader politicized a transfer carried out by the government on administrative ground. This is not Khader’s time to protect any accused,” tweeted Mr Poojari. 

It is worth mentioning here that Mr Khader was the district in-charge minister of Dakshina Kannada before Mr Poojari taking over the position. 

Meanwhile, police has arrested a person in connection with the death threat against the IAS officer.
