What a great treasure stored in a village like Pambur, where thousands of tiny tots demonstated their hidden talents, in front of the Leaders of the Belle village, Udupi Taluk and District Panchayath. While sending my hearty greetings from the bottom of my heart I Congratulate the organisers for their treamondous efforts in putting up the show. The depicted pictures are sending strong messages that India lives in villages and God is with them.The other side of the scene, the roads leading to Pambur school from B.C.Road,Bantakal to Pambur. The leaders have gone there in Government vehicles and not their own. So they do not feel the hurt the vehicles and the riders get. It is an event to open the eyes of Mr Devdas Hebbar, Mr K.S. Pujary, Taluk and Zilla panchayath Presidents ,apart from the member Ida Gilber D Souza. Thse leladers might have appreciated the talents galore and forgotten the background of their area. It is eye opener for these leaders to take note and take steps immediately to repair the roads so that, that will be real mementoes to the talented young lot to comfort their daily strnuous journey to school. Can the Leaders open their eyes and work fast? Please do. |
