Vidyarthi Siri should illuminate humanity: Vinaya Prasad
Alva's VidyaSiri-2018
Moodabidri, November 15: “The art will instill virtuousness among an artiste besides creating universal mentality. A person will become a citizen only when he leads life thinking that everything belongs to him. Let the Vidyarthi Siri illuminate the humanity”, said film actress and artiste Vinaya Prasad.
Inaugurating the Alva’s Vidyarthi Siri-2018, a student literature and cultural conference at Vidyagiri here on Thursday, she said that students were like organic manure of the next generation. The students should move forward without adopting mischief mentality or, praising beauty, slandering the ugliness and thinking about black and white. They could understand the world if they accept everything and take it as a challenge. “We should practice the lessons we have learnt and promote the land, language, water, culture of the land. This could be possible through such Vidyarthi Siri programmes”, she said.
Presiding over the programme, Kasaragod Chinmaya School student Sannidhi T Rai Perla said that “in the Indian history, hidden facts were more than the disclosed facts. Trying to see the Indian history with the western spectacles, we are at the cross road without even getting India and seeing the west. Because of the modernization, the Indian culture is vanishing. Interestingly, the modern mechanical life has failed to find answers to basic problems of human life. The grandeur of the country has only become the past glory. In a hurry to create new things, the young generation has failed to analyse the pros and cons of the result”, she said.
Alva’s Nudisiri founder Dr M Mohan Alva said that he has intention to expand this Vidyarthi Siri to the entire state. In order to continue the cultural art forms, it was inevitable to instill love towards the land among young generation. The children have valuable knowledge. Instead of encouraging them, the situation was created to destroy their mindset. If the students got proper guidance in this competitive era, their intelligence could be utilised properly, she said.
Theatre artiste Murthy Deraje (children’s theatre), Saanidhya Residential School for Special Children (Children’s personality development) and Sadgun Aital of Sharada School (child artiste) were given Alva’s Vidyarthi Siri-2018 and senior children writer A.K Rameshwar was given Alva’s Vidyarthi Siri honorary awards on the occasion.
Vinaya Prasad released ‘Ambara Kambani, an anthology of poems written by Chinmayi Rajesh, Modagalu, a short story collection, written by Atharva Hegde on the occasion. Before this, the guests were brought in a procession to the venue with cultural troops. Rotary student Prahlad Murthy welcomed, while Tejaswini Nayak proposed vote of thanks. Dhatri Prasanna compared.
“We need the society which can groom us instead of use us. The best life would require models and not the speeches. In a hurry to consider the education system and modernization as development, we have been forgetting our sensibilities. Why we don’t have even a single question in our textbooks about this either in the form of question, criticism or objection?”

Congress voices concern over safety of minorities in Bangladesh
New Delhi (PTI): The Congress on Wednesday expressed deep concern over the "atmosphere of insecurity" being faced by religious minorities in Bangladesh and the arrest of Hindu leader Chinmoy Krishna Das.
In a statement, Chairman of the party's Media and Publicity Department Pawan Khera said, "The Indian National Congress expects the government of India to prevail upon the Bangladesh government to take necessary steps and ensure security of life and property of minorities in the country".
"The Indian National Congress expresses its deep concern at the atmosphere of insecurity being faced by religious minorities in Bangladesh. The arrest of the ISCKON monk is the latest example," he said.
A lawyer was killed on Tuesday during clashes between security personnel and followers of Das, who was denied bail and sent to jail by a court in the port city of Chattogram in Bangladesh in a sedition case.
Das, the spokesperson for Bangladesh Sammilita Sanatani Jagran Jote, was arrested from the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka a day earlier.
India on Tuesday noted with "deep concern" the arrest and denial of bail to the Hindu leader, and urged authorities in the neighbouring country to ensure the safety and security of Hindus and all other minority groups.
Bangladesh reacted sharply to the Ministry of External Affairs statement, saying it was unfounded and stood contrary to the spirit of friendship between the two countries.
In its statement, Dhaka said it does not interfere with the country's judiciary, which is fully independent
