Shivamogga: The newly appointed Deputy Commissioner of Shivamogga K A Dayanand has drawn the attention of the state by implementing creative programmes in the district.
With co-ordination from the administration, officials and employees, developmental works in the district have been given a boost.
The DC has also drawn attention by organising ‘Sahyadri Utsava 2019.’ The fest which is like a blueprint for adequate development of the district, was inaugurated by Dayanand on Friday, January 25.
Dayanand has organised many state level programmes to be witnessed by the people of Shivamogga. However, this has raised some criticism in the social media and from some social activists and progressives.
Programmes relating to tourism, industries, culture, literature, art and lifestyle, which are all needed for the development of the district, have been included in ‘Sahyadri Utsava 2019.’
Shivamogga being the hub of ‘Malenadu’ region, tourism has been given importance. Job fair, industrial training, self-reliance of women, cultural and art related programmes have also been given importance.
Several artists from all over the state and country will perform in the fest.
Dayanand, who was working as a teacher before becoming the deputy commissioner, has drawn attention by working in the model of Late D K Ravi.
Hailing from a humble background, Dayanand works for the upliftment of the common man, which has been lauded by the people of Shivamogga.
