Mangalore, December 29: The 50th programme on 'Kathe kelona, haadu hadona, Kannada ulisona, Kannada belesona'— a singing, acting and story-telling session by Dakshina Kannada district Makkala Sahithya Sangama will be held at Sharada Vidyalaya at Kodialbail in Mangalore on December 31 at 10 am.
Addressing a press meet, resource person Savithri S Rao said the campaign which is the brainchild of Dakshina Kannada Jilla Makkala Sahitya Sangama, aims at inculcating Kannada pride among children through action songs, rhymes and stories in Kannada.
“Further, it is also an effort to create a natural environment for easy learning with an emphasis on improving language skills, memory power, reading habit and also instilling moral values,” she said.
She said story telling in classrooms have vanished in the modern education system.
At the same time, children are not taught Abhinaya geethe in Kannada as well.
The children seemed enjoying the action songs, with their talent in singing and acting coming to the fore.
In a one and half to two hour long session at many places, even many children suggest improvisation for the story.
An exercise to improve their memory power too will be included in the stories. The Sangama has been organising workshop in story, poetry and essay writing for the school kids. 'Kathe kelona, haadu hadona, Kannada ulisona, Kannada belesona' is organised in both Kannada and English medium schools.
It is also an attempt to develop the personality of the children, she added.
The 50th programme at Sharada Vidyalaya will be presided over by Prof M B Puranik.
Kannada Sahitya Parishat former president Harikrishna Punaroor and Dakshina Kannada district unit Kannada Sahithya Parishat president Pradeep Kumar Kalkura will be present.
