'BOOKS ARE A BRIDGE BETWEEN GENERATIONS'(WORLD BOOK DAY OCCASION)
by Ragaavendra R 24 Apr '14

24 Apr '14

Dear Moderator pls circulate. 'BOOKS ARE A BRIDGE BETWEEN GENERATIONS'(WORLD BOOK DAY OCCASION) Kannada litterateurs stressed on the importance of books and cultivating the habit of reading on the occasion of 'World Book Day' on Wednesday. Speaking on the sidelines of the event, writer Narahalli Balasubramanya said "We should ensure children emulate great minds if we want them to be responsible citizens. This is possible only if we make them read good books. Today, we are increasingly finding ourselves in the company of corrupt people. It is through books that we can interact with great literary figures such as Bendre and Kuvempu." The event was jointly organised by Karnataka Publishers Association, Kendra Sahitya Akademi, Karnataka Lekhakiyara Sangha and Indian Institute of World Culture. Balasubramanya maintained that the Kendra Sahitya Academy sold books at affordable rates and also gave a funding of Rs 400 crore to the book publishers, annually. "But not many people are aware of books entering market and the works don't reach people," he added. A series of Kannada works written by authors were released on the occasion. Writer Dr Siddalingaiah who released the books said "Books are bridges between our minds and our ancestors' minds. Every home should have a small library." 'Pustaka Bhagya' "The State government has introduced Anna Bhagya, Ksheera Bhagya and other schemes. Similarly, they should also implement Pustaka Bhagya," said M V Nagaraj Rao of Shrungara Prakashana. Technical writer in Kannada U B Pavanaja maintained that in Kannada Wikipedia there was dearth of information on Kannada literary works. "There is enough information about English works but not on Kannada novels and literary publications. The Kannada publishers should strive to feed information and synopsis of each work into the Kannada wikipedia," he added. Public Library Department celebrated the occasion by holding a book exhibition and essay competition for children at City Central Library premises on Wednesday.
