The Karnataka Rajyotsava celebration was organised with great enthusiasm and patriotic spirit by St. Joseph’s College of Education, Mysuru, on 1st November.
The programme commenced with a graceful prayer dance performed by Ms. Chandana and her team, which set a devotional and inspiring tone for the day. This was followed by a warm welcome address delivered by Ms.Suma.
To highlight the significance of Karnataka Rajyotsava, a meaningful video presentation was shown, depicting the rich artistic, cultural, economic, social, and educational growth of the state and its valuable contribution to the nation’s development.
The inauguration of the event was carried out in a unique and symbolic manner by playing the traditional drum, signifying the spirit of the famous lines by Rashtrakavi Kuvempu – “ಬಾರಿಸು ಕನ್ನಡ ಡಿಂಡಿಮವ” (Barisu Kannada Dindimava), invoking pride and reverence for the Kannada language and culture.
A remarkable and creative presentation titled “ನಮ್ಮ ನಾಡು ನಮ್ಮ ಹೆಮ್ಮೆ – ಜಿಲ್ಲೆಯ ವೈಶಿಷ್ಟ್ಯತೆ” (Our Land, Our Pride – The Uniqueness of Each District) was then showcased by the Kannada medium teacher trainees. The presentation beautifully represented the culture, traditions, and developmental contributions of all 31 districts of Karnataka, reflecting the unity in diversity of the state.
