Cultural forum of Marimallappa's College inaugurated

If you thought we were describing the latest movie in town, you definitely got it wrong. We are talking about the programmes held at the inauguration of the cultural forum at Marimallappa Pre-University College in Jaganmohan Palace Auditorium in the city on Thursday.

Jamp-packed

In a jam-packed auditorium, the youthful-excitement of the inauguration was visible on the face of participants and the audience of college-goers.

Speaking at the inauguration of the cultural forum, Department of Income Tax, Additional Commissioner, Jayarama Raipur, said that students should read more books on literature, as it will improve a person’s language.

Instead of wasting their free time, students should dedicate it to studies. A person without knowledge of literature, won’t be a famous man, he opined.

Students should know about the happenings in around them. Even if talented persons leave the country for greener pastures, they won’t receive as much recognition as they receive here.

He said that Infosys has caught the attention of the world and is an example for all of us as it was founded by Kannadigas. India is stepping towards becoming a model country, he said.
