Mysuru: Even as the city is gearing up for Nada Habba Dasara festival scheduled to be held from Sept. 21 to 30, about 200 students of Chamarajendra Academy of Visual Arts (CAVA) resorted to an indefinite strike in front of the Institute on Bannur Road in Siddarthanagar here this morning demanding immediate appointment of Dean to CAVA.
The students are a worried lot as they will miss the much-awaited ‘Dasara CAVA Mela’ which they propose to hold on Sept.24 and 25. The Mela, organised annually, seems unlikely this year, as there is no Head for the Institute after the previous Dean, Basavaraj S. Musavalagi, retired from service on July 31.
