Actress Umashree inaugurates World Theater Day

March 28, 2011
Udupi, March 28: “Awards never moved me. My experience in theater made me to live an actual life. If the awards move me, I cannot learn anymore. I wish to act till my last breath. Because I am in Cinema and politics I cannot quit acting'', said actress Umashree.

She was speaking after inaugurating the World Theater Day celebrations, organized by Amogha (R), a socio- cultural organization, here on Sunday.

She said that theater in India did not grow to international level, but the traditional forms of arts did. To promote theater some best works, which provoke thoughts in the minds of the spectators, were needed. Government should take initiatives to promote all forms of arts, not only theater, to the international level, she added.

Umashree opined that experience of acting in small screens or cinema is same except for some minor changes. But the lessons learnt in theater take you to a long way and it is long lasting too. Rajkumar, Balanna, Narasimha Raju, B Jayamma, Lokesh, Shankarnag, Mukhyamanthri Chandru, NS Rao, and others who hailed from the theater were the best examples for that.

Speaking on the occasion renowned theater personality Udyavara Madhavacharya hoped that theater would become a guiding light for social harmony.

Kasargod Chinna announced his plan to produce two more dramas, one each in Konkani and Kannada, with actorns from Udupi region.

On the occasion Umashree honoured senior theater personalities Madhavi Bhandari and Laxminarayan Bhat.

Director of 'Amogha' Poornima Suresh presided over the programme.

Raviraj HP welcomed, Basuma Kodagu compeered the programme. Sridhar PS proposed the vote of thanks.

Bengaluru, Jul 8: In a setback to the State government, the Karnataka High Court on Wednesday stayed the initial ban and the subsequent restrictions imposed on schools against conducting online classes from pre-primary to Class X.

Prima facie the ban and embargo imposed on online education violate Articles 21 and 21A of the Constitutionon the fundamental right to education, the Court said.

A Division Bench comprising Chief Justice Abhay Shreeniwas Oka and Justice Nataraj Rangaswamy passed the interim order staying the operation of Government Orders issued on June 15 and June 27 respectively.

The Bench passed the interim order on the petitions filed by parents of children and several educational institutions questioning the legality of the ban and the restrictions imposed.

However, the Bench made it clear that this order should not be construed that the schools have right to make online education compulsory and can charge fee for offering online education. Also, the schools should not deprive students, who cannot opt for online education, the lost education when the schools reopen on regular basis.
