Set up university for Yakshagana: Kumble Sundar Rao

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.

Bengaluru, Jan 23: City civic body Bruhat Bengaluru Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) levied a penalty of Rs 50,000 on the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) for using single-use plastic cups during the recent India-Australia one-day international match at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

"Despite many awareness meetings, BBMP has found that single-use plastic cups were used during yesterday's cricket match and has fined KSCA Rs 50,000 as penalty," tweeted the civic body commissioner BH Anil Kumar.

The state cricket association treasurer Vinaya Mruthyunjaya said the civic body gave a general notice without detailed information on plastic use.

"We have been environmentally friendly for the last many years and at all gates, security has made sure no plastic or flex was allowed inside the stadium," Mruthyunjaya told media.

Mruthyunjaya said KSCA sought information from the civic body as to where the single-use plastic cups were found in the stadium during the India-Australia match.

On January 16, KSCA president Roger Binny inaugurated a plastic bottle shredder at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, in addition to other green initiatives at the cricket ground such as solar panels, sub-air system, biogas unit, rainwater harvesting and others. 

Similarly, in December 2019, BBMP cracked down on popular fast food eatery – Adyar Anand Bhavan in HSR Layout and fined the establishment Rs 1 lakh for plastic use.

In October, the BBMP fined eateries including McDonald's in central Bengaluru for using plastic.
