But culture, language and literature have to be preserved for next generations. The speakers of Arebhashe language should take pride in claiming their culture.”

Kodagu Gowda Samaja secretary Kodi Chandrashekhar opined that camps on Arebhashe language should be organised at the village-levels as well. Also, youth should utilise such opportunities. He suggested recording all the programmes organised by the Academy. Arebhashe Samkrithi and Sahitya Academy chairman Lakshminarayana Kajegadde said that culture should always be kept alive. In a positive development, youth have been showing interest in Arebhashe culture. The Academy will organise Arebhashe workshops in Aluru, Siddapura and Bhagamandala.

The camp participants sung songs on ‘Hari Seve’, ‘Gange Pooje’, ‘Dibbana’, ‘Sobane’, ‘Valaga’ and so on.
