The Department of Kannada & Culture has organised an ‘Interaction with achievers’ programme at Chamarajendra Government College for Visual Arts (CAVA) in Siddarthanagar on Sept. 5 at 11 am.

City Sculptor Appaneravanda Kiran Subbaiah, who was honoured with Vachana Chitra-Rachana Pithamaha M. Veerappa Datti Prashasti-2022 by the JSS Mahavidyapeetha, will be the guest for this month’s interaction with students.

Subbaiah is a skilled sculptorr hailing from Parane village in Kodagu, now settled in Mysuru.

He studied sculpture at Chamarajendra Technical Institute (now Chamarajendra Academy of Visual Arts) and is known for creating multi-dimensional sculptures — a specialised genre which seems to be a single statue but actually has several more angles to it.

His unique feature is the creation of sculptures with two, three, four, or five dimensions in a single stone, which can be seen in a total of 212 sculptures, showcasing 655 different varieties.

His house near Highway Circle in Bannimanatap is a one-of-its-kind sculpture museum aptly named ‘Shilpaniketana.’

In 2021, Kiran was conferred with Karnataka Kodava Sahitya Academy Award.

Mysore/Mysuru:

Ten teachers were  felicitated and presented ‘Jeevanadi Cauvery’ awards in memory of Nambiyapanda Gowru Ponnavva  at a function held in the premises of Akkana Balaga  School in Agrahara in the city on Tuesday. The award presentation function was jointly organised by Cauvery Balaga and Hiranmayi Pratishtana.

Speaking at the function, writer Bannur K. Raju said it is essential that education and health must be provided to everyone without any bias like in many developed countries.

“Unfortunately in our country, both these vital sectors are in firm grip of private organisations which has deprived both education and health to poor and middle class people,” he regretted saying it has become essential that these two sectors be nationalised in the interest of majority of people in the country.
