Beltangady, Feb 14: Dharmasthala temple has agreed to provide desks and benches worth Rs 30 lac to various government schools in Chitradurga district during this academic year. This special scheme will have 50% participation by Chitradurga zilla panchayat.

A total of 960 pairs of desks and benches would be provided to 200 government schools under this scheme. The Dharmasthala temple will solely take the responsibility for delivering these items to the respective schools.

During the last year, Dharmasthala temple had provided 1,650 pairs of benches and desks to 300 government schools in Chitradurga district, at a cost of Rs 50 lac, with a subsidy of 80%. After the public instruction department of that district sought further assistance in the matter, Dr D Veerendra Heggade, Dharmadhikari of Dharmasthala, gave his nod for the  above proposal. A release from the temple said that so far, about 12,500 students of the district got good seating facility because of 2,600 pairs of desks and benches provided by the temple.

    Timely request Jenifer. For sure SNS/BJD/VHP are least concerned about matters like this. Especially Muthalik who is from North Karnataka. He is concerned about girls in Bangalore/Mangalore but about daughters from his own area.

    I am thankful to the Dharmadhikari for this generous deed. I wish to plead to the authorities of Dharmasthala to conduct a campaign among people of Northern Karnataka because in these places people are so backward that they still believe in Devadasi culture and dedicate the eldest daughter for divine service as 'Devadasi' Male monsters there on religious disguise feast on these innocent girls and we the educated women watch it helplessly. If we offer to even talk on this subject at-once conversion excuse is raised and we are shoo'd away. Please educate people to come out of myths and blind belief and encourage women to live a dignified life.
