Mysore/Mysuru: Kannada and Culture Department Director P. Vishwanath Hiremath said: "With the thrust on making summer vacations meaningful and packed with entertainment to encourage creativity among children, Rangayana has been providing a platform every year by organising Chinnara Mela. The intention is to prevent children from becoming mobile phone addicts that spoil their future, as apart from learning, the children should be made abreast of entertainment matters."
Hiremath spoke during the valedictory of Chinnara Mela Summer Camp, under the slogan 'Nammee Tainela' (Our Motherland) at Vanaranga in Rangayana premises here yesterday. "For namesake, it's the valedictory of Chinnara Mela, but it has turned into an occasion for the participants to appreciate each other. It's a normal practice to discuss about drawbacks during valedictory ceremony, but here there is no room to rewind the past, but discuss about children's area of interest that has made the summer camp successful," asserted Hiremath.
