Mysuru :

True to the saying that ‘Charity begins at Home’ and proper encouragement from parents and teachers bring out the sea of hidden talent among children, amongst us is M.J. Namratha, a 10th std. student of JSS Public School at SJCE campus and the proud daughter of Rotary District-3180 Assistant Governor Rtn. M.S. Jayaprakash and R. Joshila, who stole the limelight by winning the ‘National-level Balashri’ for creative writing by outsmarting as many as 150 competitors from different parts of the country at the contest held at Bal Bhavan in New Delhi.

Besides being a talented writer, who gained entry into the national-level contest for her outstanding performance in the South India-level contest held at Hyderabad, the multi-faceted Namratha is also a talented dancer who secured first rank in Bharathanatya Senior Exam.

The Balashri award, which comprises a purse of Rs. 1 lakh and a citation, will be presented to Namratha shortly.

A disciple of danseuse Dr. Vasundhara Doraswamy, Namratha has been selected for Cultural Talent Search Scholarship given by Central Government-run Centre for Cultural Resources and Training (CCRT) till she attains the age of 21 years, for learning Bharathanatya.

Aims: Namratha, speaking to Star of Mysore, claimed that she had read more than 200 books of reputed writers while preparing for the National-level contest which was held in 10 rounds and added that she was determined to achieve more with the support of her parents and elder sister M.J. Jahnavi.
