Anugraha school: Kannada Rajyotsava
On 1st November 2016 Kannada Rajyotsava was celebrated in Anugraha school, Halbarga, Bidar. It is the day marked to celebrate the unification of Kannada speaking people into a single State as Karnataka. Rev. Anthony Raj, Parish priest of Pothnal, Raichur presided over the celebration. He hoisted the National Flag and received the honour from the students of Anugraha school. He spoke that Kannada culture, literature and tolerance is well known all over the world, it has to be enhanced. The people who worked for the Karnataka unification are to be respected. The great persons like Kuvempu, Bendre, Gangubai Hangal so on must emerge from the young generation. The school is the best place to see that such persons should be recognised and encouraged. Then the principal of the school Fr. Richard honoured the guests on the dais. The community members of Anugraha Ashram were present for the celebration. The staff sang the song Nada Geethe (dedicated to Karnataka) "Jai Bharata jananiya tanujate jai he Karnataka Maathe". It was a splendid day.
