Madikeri :

A progressive farmer, Napanda Poonacha of Kodagu district looks forward to being known as a pro-nature farmer. He is extensively working towards identifying commercial crops that have little or no ill impact on biodiversity and he was recently awarded the Plant Genome Saviour Farmer Reward (2019-20) for his contribution towards the conservation of indigenous crops of ‘Adi Pepper’.

The award has been conferred by the Union Agriculture Ministry’s Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers’ Rights Authority and Poonacha received the award from union agriculture minister Narendra Singh Tomar at a ceremony in New Delhi on November 11.

“This award has been granted to farmers who recognize, conserve and promote crops that are useful to biodiversity. Similarly, I won the award for my research, conservation and promotion of ‘Adi Pepper’ – an indigenous variety of pepper that is extensively found growing across natural habitat of Garvale village limits in Kodagu,” explained Poonacha.

He is the proprietor of Adi Pepper Demo Farm and Research Center in Garvale and is extensively involved in identifying native crops in the district that have great potential of becoming a commercial crop without causing damage to the ecosystem.

“Adi Pepper crops are extensively found in the natural habitat across the Garvale area. At the research center, we took the initiative of getting this species of pepper registered under PPFRI and this quality pepper was recognized as farmer’s variety pepper in 2015. This is the only species of pepper that has undergone biochemical analysis and is considered the best among the seven species of pepper that are grown across Kodagu,” he detailed.

While this variety of pepper was locally known as forest pepper and was used only for domestic purposes by the locals, it has now attained a brand value of Rs 3500 per kilo – earning over six times more returns than the other species of black pepper marketed in the district.

“Adi pepper is a native crop and has no harmful impact on biodiversity. This is high-quality pepper and its processing is different from the other species. The ripening of the pepper seeds takes place in November and it is harvested during the same month. However, the pepper seeds are handpicked, treated with hot water and then dried and processed. This ensures top quality of the pepper, earning high returns,” he explained.

April 30, 2022Agriculture, Amazing Feats, Arts, Culture & Entertainment, Business & Economy, Famous Personalities of Kodagu / Coorg, Green Initiatives / Environment, Nature, Records, Alladmin

Mysore/Mysuru:

Accapanda Kashi Kuttappa (76), former Assistant Director in the Agriculture Department and a Guinness Record holder for tallest home-grown cactus, passed away at his residence in Siddarthanagar this morning.

He leaves behind his wife Jyothi, daughters Smitha and Neetha, sons-in-law and a host of relatives and friends. Last rites were performed at the foot of Chamundi Hill this noon, according to family sources.

The cactus Kashi Kuttappa

and his family members had grown reached a record height of 45.8 feet and had fetched him the Guinness Record. Kashi himself had said that it took him and his family 22 years to grow the cactus that towered above his home. It is of Cactus-Cereus Grandflora that belongs to the family of ‘cactaceae’. This cactus is widely grown in the tropics of dry tracts and suits the desert climate.

Several tourists and nature lovers used to frequent Kashi’s house at Siddarthanagar to see the wonder plant. In fact, the road to Kashi’s house was arbitrarily named ‘Cactus Road’ and he was famous as ‘Cactus Kashi’.

The plant was grown and nourished since 1978 when it was 2.5 ft. tall. The Guinness Book of Records authorities accepted the cactus as the tallest and issued a certificate for the first time on Jan. 20, 1993 when the cactus was 35 feet 1 inch. The Guinness Records authorities awarded the longest cactus certificate for the second time in 1998, when the cactus had grown to the height of 44 feet and 9 inches.

An exhibition showcasing the intricacies of dyeing will be held at Bangalore International Centre this weekend

Vibrant colours, striking patterns and flowy fabrics — much goes into the final product that one wears without much thought. However, for those who would like to get into the nuances of dyes and textiles, Bangalore International Centre (BIC) will be hosting an exhibition, ‘Natural dye stories by Label Arati,’ and related workshops from April 30 to May 3.

Conceptualised and curated by Arati Monappa who established the label, the exhibition will showcase various dyeing and embroidery techniques in use by Indian artisans.

“The purpose of this exhibition is to showcase the beauty of natural dyes. It is an assemblage of pieces coloured with natural dye, which I started gathering; today we have over 100 Indian practitioners who use natural dye and over 300 pieces are going to be on display,” says Arati, who adds that the event was initially meant to mark the label’s 25th anniversary which got delayed due to the pandemic.

“I had a lot of leftover fabric from over the years, which were used for cushions and other furnishings. We also rewove some of those remnants into fabric — all these pieces will be installed at the exhibition,” she says.

Apart from the release of a book documenting the journey of Label Arati, five natural dye workshops will also be held. Workshops on Eco Printing, Natural Dyes and Natural Mordant Dyeing, Dyeing with Kitchen Waste and two on the traditional techniques of Mata ni Pachedi from Gujarat and Kalamkari, will be held. The fee for the courses range from ₹1,500 to ₹2,000.

A mordant is a substance used to affix dye to fabrics and are not usually plant-based. The use of natural dyes dates back to India’s Vedic period when the Indian Madder (Rubia cordifolia, commonly known as manjistha) was used to obtain red pigment, says Pushyamitra Joshi of EcoFab Bharat, Indore, who will be hosting one of the workshops at the exhibition. “The leaves and bark of the Lodh tree (Symplocos racemosa) can be used as a mordant in place of alum. This makes its use and subsequent disposal totally safe for the craftsman and the environment,” he says.

Pushyamitra will demonstrate how to dye fabric using Lodh as a mordant and participants will be provided with kits containing Lodh and manjistha to replicate the process at leisure. “Apart from reviving an ancient practice, the use of plant-based mordants ensures brighter shades as it is more potent. That it is completely eco-friendly is a huge plus,” he adds.

Pune-based Shraddha Barde of Leafage will conduct a workshop on eco-printing, which she believes is both an art and science. “Every leaf, even if it is from the same tree is of a different shape and composition, so every piece is one of a kind. It is perhaps the purest method of printing as one transfers the colour present in leaves directly onto the fabric — it is a natural process, using natural methods,” says Shraddha. She will cover the basics of the technique following which participants will try their hand at eco-printing.

The exhibition will feature an embroidery collection by designer Asif Shaikh as well as rugs, masks in natural dyes, block print samples and recycled pieces. “Though there is no sale of the pieces on display, there will be a catalogue of the collection and one can write down if they are interested in a particular piece. If it doesn’t go into our permanent collection, it will be available at a price, later. There will also be a sale of the pieces that are not used at the exhibition,” says Arati.

‘Natural dye stories by Label Arati,’ will be on at Bangalore International Centre from April 30 to May 3. To register for the workshops, contact 080 41279127 or whatsapp 9448648576.

Culture and creativity – 31 artists showcase contributions of Kodagu at the Aadipaaya exhibition

April 24, 2022Amazing Feats, Arts, Culture & Entertainment, Famous Personalities of Kodagu / Coorg, Inspiration / Positive News and Features, Records, Alladmin

In Part I of our photo essay on the Adipaaya art exhibition, we feature creative highlights along with curator insights. Read, enjoy, share!

Launched in 2014,PhotoSparks is a weekly feature from YourStory, with photographs that celebrate the spirit of creativity and innovation. In the earlier 600 posts, we featured an art festival, cartoon festival, cartoon gallery, world music festival, telecom expo, millets fair, climate change expo, wildlife conference, startup festival, Diwali wildlife conference, startup festival, , Diwali rangoli and jazz festival.

While the region of Kodagu (Coorg) in South India is known for its rich natural resources as well as achievers in sports and defence, Kodava artists are not as well known.

The current exhibition at Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath, titled Adipaaya (‘foundation’ in the Kodava language), shines the spotlight on the regional art.

Kodava art

“In December of 2021, I made an open call on the Kodava WhatsApp group about my interest to curate an All Kodava Visual Arts Exhibition,” explains award-winning artist-curator Smitha Cariappa, in a chat with YourStory.

She received an overwhelming response to her open call. “I had a one-on-one telephonic conversation to find out more from each artist. I got to know the majority are self-taught and skilled painters,” she recalls.

After the pandemic lockdowns and restrictions, she reconnected with artists and art lovers in Kodagu, and conducted research into its artistic heritage.

The exhibited artworks span painting, drawing, portraits, sculpture, installation, illustration, caricature, photography, textiles, and mixed media. Elements of daily life in Kodagu and festivals of Kodava culture are some of the themes of the artworks.

Art and creativity

“Art is the best language that I can apply to communicate my concerns, anxieties and inquiries. My concepts evolve around current socio-political concerns,” Smitha explains.

“Art is also an attitude towards life, and the inner self-reflection of the immediate environment and surroundings,” she adds. “With empathy to the concerns around, a certain kind of activism comes about,” she suggests.

As a curator, she sees success in completing a curatorial project and bridging the gap between artist and audience.

“Success would be to involve the audience in conversation with the artwork and the artist. If I have touched the people and they are able to get closer to better aesthetic ideas, that is success for me,” she affirms.

Messages and impact

“I am trying to take the Kodava art project to Kodagu in the form of workshops, talks and exchanges. Reverse migration during the pandemic has taken us to our roots and our native places,” Smitha explains.

National Skiing athlete from Kodagu looks for sponsors to support her Olympic dream

April 22, 2022Amazing Feats, Famous Personalities of Kodagu / Coorg, Records, All, Sportsadmin

Bhavani Thekkada Nanjunda represented Karnataka at the National Cross Country Skiing Competition held at Gulmarg during March this year and won gold and two silver medals.

Madikeri :

A gold medal, five silver medals and a bronze. Athlete Bhavani Thekkada Nanjunda from Kodagu has all these achievements to her name.

A certified skier, she has become the first South Indian to have won medals in the national cross-country competitions. While she has already become the pride of Karnataka, she hopes to become the pride of the nation by taking part in the Winter Olympics.

“I was the first and the only South Indian to represent India in the International FIS Cross Country Skiing races hosted in Iceland in January this year. In March this year, I became the first South Indian to have won medals in the National Cross Country and Winter Biathlon Championships,” Bhavani shared enthusiastically.

She represented Karnataka at the National Cross Country Skiing Competition held at Gulmarg during March this year and won gold and two silver medals in the 1.5 km, 10 km and 5 km race in the championship.

Similarly, she has become the pride of the state after winning two silver medals in 10 km and 5 km race in the National Winter Biathlon Championship, where she shone in shooting and cross-country skiing biathlon sports. She won the silver and a bronze medal in the 1.5 km and 5 km race in the All India Open Ski and Snowboard Championship held recently in Himachal Pradesh.

“Following the participation in the various championships, I am now eligible to represent India in the upcoming Nordic World Ski Championship that will be held at Slovenia. While I dream of representing India in the Winter Olympics of 2026, I have to mandatorily take part in several world championships to collect FIS points,” she explained.

She shared that while her passion for the sport and her dream to represent the nation is high, so is the requirement of funds to fulfil her dream. She earnestly looks forward to some support from sponsors, which will help her acquire skiing equipment and support her training sessions.

“The training will help me catch up with the international skiers and help me represent India in the World Championships, World Cup and finally in the Winter Olympics,” she concluded.

Karnataka appoints Robin Uthappa as brand ambassador for Brain Health Initiative

April 16, 2022Amazing Feats, Business & Economy, Famous Personalities of Kodagu / Coorg, Leaders, Records, All, Science & Technologyadmin

Project to improve treatment of neurological disorders was launched January

Soon diagnosis and timely treatment of common neurological problems, such as epilepsy, headache, stroke, dementia and brain infections, can be done from the grassroots level of primary health centres, secondary-level district hospitals and NIMHANS at the tertiary level in the State.

Recognising the need to improve treatment and prevent neurological disorders in the community, the State Government in association with NIMHANS and Niti Ayog launched the Karnataka Brain Health Initiative (Ka-BHI) in January.

While training of doctors and preparations to start Brain Health Clinics in the three pilot hospitals – Jayanagar General hospital in Bengaluru Urban, SNR Hospital in Kolar and District Hospital in Chickballapur – has begun, the Government has appointed cricketer Robin Uthappa as the brand ambassador for brain and mental health programmes. The pilot project has also been announced in this year’s State Budget.

State Health Commissioner Randeep told The Hindu that brain health promoting activities such as physical exercises, yoga, sports, traditional art and crafts, stress reduction and nutritional support will be initiated in three pilot districts. “This is a first of a kind initiative in the country that will facilitate early diagnosis and timely treatment, for common neurological diseases,” he said.

NIMHANS Director Pratima Murthy said the burden of neurological disorders is rapidly increasing in India and is posing a challenge to the health of the society. “Neurological diseases, including stroke, epilepsy, headache, dementia and brain infections, contribute to immense disability in the community. Since brain health, mental health, non-communicable diseases, maternal and child health and elderly care overlap, coordination between the different national programmes under the National Health Mission is being strengthened through this pilot project,” she said.

“Ka-BHI will develop a model for prevention and management of neurological diseases and promote brain health, from grassroots level of primary care to tertiary care. This pilot study in three districts can become a model and be implemented in the whole State and at the national level in the coming months,” Dr. Murthy said.

Suvarna Alladi, professor and head of the Department of Neurology at NIMHANS, said the training programme for PHC medical officers was initiated on March 11. “Three in-person training workshops have been conducted for all the PHC doctors in the pilot hospitals. Overall 180 doctors, including 26 neurologists from NIMHANS, are involved in this. The protocols for diagnosis and management of neurological disorders have been drafted and weekly online neurology interactive teaching sessions are going on,” she said.

“The training of PHC doctors will be completed in June and they will be certified in treatment of common neurological diseases. Training programme for ASHA workers and community health officers has been developed. They will be provided with a 15-point questionnaire that can be used to screen patients with neurological disorders from the community level and Health and Wellness centres for early identification and timely treatment in referral centres,” Dr. Alladi explained.

Bhavani G S’ Artworks That Connect Memories With The Present Opens At Hyderabad’s State Art Gallery On April 15

April 15, 2022Amazing Feats, Arts, Culture & Entertainment, Business & Economy, Famous Personalities of Kodagu / Coorg, Records, Alladmin

The artist’s debut solo show opens at Hyderabad’s State Art Gallery on April 15.

The excitement is palpable in artist Bhavani G S’ voice. “This is my first solo show in Hyderabad and I have not been able to sleep for the past few days due to the thrill of coming to the city. I am glad I could come early,” she says ahead of her multi-disciplinary exhibition, Fragmented Memories, that opens at the State Art Gallery on April 15. The show consisting of paintings and video art brings memories to the fore connecting the past to the present and vice versa.

Besides a few short videos, around 35 works done in acrylics and watercolours promise to give artlovers an uncanny sense of being in the woods. The works done two years ago were to be displayed at Jehangir Art Gallery in March 2020 but got postponed due to the outbreak of COVID-19 (she displayed at Jehangir Art Gallery two months ago). “Our lives changed in two years of the pandemic; My works also changed,” she shares.

Bond with Cauvery

Hailing from the mountain ranges of Kodagu in Karnataka surrounded by coffee plantations, Bhavani’s works represent the deep connection she shares with her native land and the river Cauvery. In fact, the artist has been working on a decade-long sustained project on Cauvery and has shot a few videos on water issues. This is part of a research-based work on her journeys that started in 2012 when she travelled (around 65 kilometres) along the river from TalaCauvery (in Coorg district where Cauvery originates) reaching the Bay of Bengal in Poompuhar and observing the changing shores of the confluence of the river.

Her journey started as a probe into water issues like pollution, ended up forging a bond with the river. “I fell in love with Cauvery and wanted to travel with it. Hence a bit of the river will always be there in my works.” Memories evolved as COVID-19 triggered uncertainties and took her back to her home town that was witness to unscientific man-made changes leading to disasters.

“Television and the internet kept us connected but our relationships had changed and we were disconnected from each other. The pandemic taught us the value of many things, especially freedom,” she points out. She connected images emanating from her childhood memories to her current stay in Bengaluru. The migration issue made her ponder her life when she migrated to Bengaluru. The elephant corridor has disappeared as people have moved in. I am responsible in a way for that disappearance.”

The anxieties also took her back to her childhood when she recollected the solace she got as a child by hearing the howling of Western Ghats fox and the jackal. “The Western Ghats fox is on the verge of extinction,” she says. The various images that touched her mind and soul have found a place on her canvas.

Fragmented Memories by Bhavani G S will be at the State Art Gallery till April 24
