Mangalore, June 16: Six personalities were felicitated by the Karnataka Tulu Sahitya Academy as part of its 2011 Honourary Award and Book Award felicitations on June 16 at Town Hall in Mangalore.


Awards were given away to Bola Chittaranjandas Shetty for Literature, Seetharam Shetty for Theatre, T A Srinivas for Cinema, Puttige Padmanabha Rai for novel writing, Ashok Alva for story writing and Ratnakar Rao Kavoor for play writing.


The Honourary Award consists of cash prize of Rs. 10,000 per recipient besides mementos, shawl and traditional gifts. The Book Award winners were given away a cash prize of Rs. 5,000, in addition to mementos, shawls and traditional gifts.


Bannanje Babu Amin, Folk Researcher, inaugurated the programme. Nalin Kumar Kateel, MP, and Krishna J Palemar, MLA, gave away the awards.


Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Kateel said that many people try to pressurize politicians and organisations for an award but such awards do not mean anything. The real recognition is when one is honored for his/her genuine contributions, which the Tulu Sahitya Academy has done, he said. Due to new experiments and approaches it was possible to revive the dying art of Yakshagana. The Academy must look at avenues and scope for greater research and experimentation which will help in retaining Tulu language and culture, the MP said.


Mr. Palemar in his address said that the state government has always put in efforts to protect the culture of Tulunadu. Besides granting funds for the Tulu Academy, the BJP led state government set up the Beary Sahitya Academy too, Mr. Palemar said. He also revealed on the occasion that he would release Rs. 10 lakhs from his MLA fund for the 'Tulu Bhavana' which is being constructed in the city.


A book titled 'Kavigalu Kanda Tulunadu' was released by litterateur Hampa Nagarajayya. The revamped website of the Academy was also launched on the occasion.


Gulzar Banu, Mayor, MCC, Capt. Ganesh Karnik, MLC, Shailaja Bhat, President, DK Zilla Panchayat, Katpadi Shankar Poojary, President, Udupi Zilla Panchayat, Ram Shetty, Film Director, were present among others.

Mumbai, Jun 26: In a humanitarian gesture, a mosque in Bhiwandi town of adjoining Thane district has been converted by its administrators into a temporary COVID-19 facility, where oxygen is provided free of cost to patients.

The facility at Makkah Masjid in the Shanti Nagar area of the powerloom town has been set up by the local chapter of Jamaat-e-Islami Hind (JIH), Movement for Peace and Justice and the Shanti Nagar Trust, which runs the mosque.

Apart from putting up five beds equipped with oxygen cylinders, the JIH also delivers them for free to patients homes if required, an office-bearer of the JIH said, adding the makeshift facility is open to all communities.

So far, the Bhiwandi-Nizampur municipality has recorded over 1,332 COVID-19 cases and 88 casualties. It has a mortality rate of 5.26 per cent, a release stated.

"Bhiwandi-Nizampur has been hit hard by the pandemic as it is a congested city. It doesn't even have proper health infrastructure.

"The situation has only worsened during the pandemic as general medical practitioners have shut their clinics fearing the virus spread," said Ausaf Ahmed Falahi, president of the JIH's Bhiwandi chapter.

As a majority of people here lack awareness about the viral disease and are unable to afford treatment, a facility like this one was the need of the hour, he said.

Over 70 persons have benefited from this facility, which has two doctors, while 15 oxygen cylinders have been delivered to the homes of eight COVID-19 patients, Falahi said.

People irrespective of their religion have been availing treatment at the mosque, he added.

"Makkah Masjid has been shut for prayers since the lockdown. So, we decided to use a part of the premises to help those who can't avail treatment elsewhere," said Qaiser Mirza of the Shanti Nagar Trust.
