“The KSGH Music and Performing Arts University which is engaged in teaching and research, should get all help from the government in order to become a model University of its kind to the entire country,’ observed senior litterateur Dr. Dejagow.

He was speaking after inaugurating the ‘Bharatiya Nrutya Vaibhava’, a six-day dance fest organised by the KSGH Music University at Ganabharati Veene Seshanna Bhavan, Kuvempunagar in the city yesterday.

Stating that he is a serious music and dance enthusiast, Dejagow said that the art of dance has attained new dimensions with the passage of time.

Noting that Bharatanatyam form of dance has gained much popularity in South India, he observed that music, arts and art appreciation play a vital role in maintaining the health of the society.

Renowned danseuse Usha Datar in her address, complimented the University for organising the programme featuring both music and dance, especially at a time when the general perception is that music and dance forms are always at the opposite ends.

Regretting the declining number of those learning music and dance, especially the classical form of music, she said that music exams being hitherto conducted by the Higher Secondary Board, will now be conducted by the Music Varsity and suggested the Music Varsity to hold the exams in May instead of October, in the larger interest of students.

The University Registrar Prof. Y.S. Siddegowda highlighted the role of Dr. Dejagow in the setting up of Music Varsity in Mysuru and said that the University will think of naming its proposed extension block at Varakudu in the taluk after Dejagow.

Litterateur Dr. Dejagow and danseuse Usha Datar were felicitated on the occasion.

Music University VC Dr. Sarvamangala Shankar presided. Music Varsity Registrars and others were present.

Mary John and team from Kerala will perform ‘Mohiniattam’ dance at 5.30pm today (Dec.14), followed by an Odissi dance presentation by Udaykumar Shetty and team from Bengaluru at 7 pm.
