Mangalore, November 15: Dakshina Kannada District in-charge Minister Krishna J Palemar has said that the people of Karnataka should know the greatness of Kanakadasa, a social reformer who stood against evil practices and tried to change the outlook of people.

Inaugurating 'Kanakadasara Jayanthi' celebration at Town Hall in Mangalore on Monday, Krishna J Palemar said that every caste has its own traditions and practices but people should decide to respect only those traditions and practices which can be considered healthy.

Speaking about the way State Government has shown its respect to this great reformer, Palemar said that Government has been providing Rs 50,000 per district to celebrate Kanaka Jayanthi because the Government realises the need to keep Kanakadasa alive in the hearts of the people.

“The BJP government has released about Rs Ten crore for Kaginele Kanakapeeth to promote the principles laid down by Kanakadasa”, Palemar added.

Kateel Sri Durga Parameshwari First Grade College Lecturer Balakrishna Shetty spoke about the life and principles of Kanakadasa.

“Kanakadasa sacrificed his life for the sake of the society. Some fundamentalists hurt him and criticised his principles but Kanakadasa's values are still relevant,” he said.

Karavali Kurubara Sangha submitted a memorandum to District in-charge Minister Krishna J Palemar during the occasion demanding naming a circle or a road after Kanakadasa in the city. The cultural procession organised before the stage programme attracted lot of spectators.

Mangalore City Corporation (MCC) Commissioner Dr Harish Kumar, MLA U T Khader, Additional Deputy Commissioner Dayanand, Karavali Kurubara Sangha President K E Prakash and other dignitaries were present at the occasion.

Shivamogga, Feb 4: Students of a government primary school which is built especially for the children of manual scavengers, have been facing tough times during classes as the filthy drainage passing through the school premises excrete human excreta and sludge.

The drainage passes through GSPL Scavenger's Colony School in Shivamogga city, located behind the state road transport corporation's bus stand (KSRTC).

According to the locals here, students studying in this school often fall sick due to the waste flowing from the drainage.

Penchelayya, the father of a child who studies in the same school said, "Human excreta floats in the drainage as it is connected to two toilets. The school stinks and students often fall sick due to the drainage."

The students studying here are unable to bear the foul smell emanating from the drainage which flows at the school's premises.

He added that waste from private bus stands is dumped in this drainage which ultimately flows here creating an extremely unhygienic environment for the people living here and students studying in this school.

He further claimed that the government is not ready to listen to their grievances.
