Art has the power to instil self confidence among children: Dr. M.R. Ravi
Mysuru :
Additional Regional Commissioner (ARC) Dr. M.R. Ravi has said that music, arts and literature have the power to instil self confidence, courage and conviction in children.
Speaking at 7th State-level singing contest, Sangeethotsava and award presentation ceremony, organised under the aegis of Samarpana – Srimathi Radhamma Memorial Trust at Maharshi Public School, Visweshwaranagar here recently, Dr. Ravi said that today’s education does not instil self confidence in children. But music, arts and literature have enough power in them to instil self confidence in children and as such, parents should not force their wards to study only engineering, medical and other professional courses, besides encouraging them to take active interest in arts, music and literature.
Senior musician Vidu. H.S. Mahalakshmi was conferred ‘Samarpana Sangeetha Shri’ award on the occasion.
Earlier, Vidyabharathi Trust Members presented a dance-drama ‘Janani Janmabhoomi.’ University of Mysore faculty C.A. Sridhar, Samarpana President N.V. Phaneesh, Sudha Phaneesh and others were present.
