Badaganadu Balaga, Mysore

Our 19^th Annual Day function was held on the 9^th Feb. 2008 at the Rotary West Auditorium. Sri H.N.Ramathirtha, an Industrialist and Vice-Chairman of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Mysore was the Chief Guest. We made use of the occasion to recognize the contributions made to the educational field by Prof. K.V.Arkanath, Hon. Secretary of the famous Vidya Vardhaka Institutions of Mysore, by honouring him. Both the guests, in their respective speeches, spoke of the usefulness of small organizations like our Balaga in maintaining the heritage, social and cultural identity of human groups and encouraged us to continue our efforts.

Excavation for that part of the Bhavan's Building which would house our Office and a Meeting Hall has been completed and the actual marking for the columns and foundation bed is to be taken up shortly. 

The one-day workshop attracted about 5 participants who were taught the basics of e-mailing and browsing the Internet.
