Addressing the gathering, the founder of the Jayashree Krishna Parisara Premi Samiti Thonse Jayakrishna A. Shetty, said that the Silver Jubilee celebrations marking the association’s 25th anniversary were made possible on a grand scale because of the collective efforts, dedication and unity of all members. He noted that several political dignitaries, including two senior ministers from the state, have participated in the celebrations, providing the association with an opportunity to bring important issues concerning the development of the district to their attention. He stressed the need to actively involve the younger generation in the association’s activities in the coming years. He explained that the association, as a non-governmental organisation, has been systematically bringing various problems faced by the districts to the attention of the government. The association has successfully fulfilled its responsibility in this regard, while it is now the responsibility of the government to take the necessary steps towards resolving those issues.
He further stated that under the leadership of District Working President Hariesh Kumar Shetty, the association had completed nearly 80 per cent of the work concerning various development initiatives in the district. The remaining work was the responsibility of the government and needed to be completed by the concerned authorities. He said that the association would adopt appropriate resolutions on several important public-interest issues, including the construction of protective barriers to prevent coastal erosion, uninterrupted 24-hour electricity supply and the eradication of communalism.
He added that the Jayashree Krishna Parisara Premi Samiti (NGO) had been successfully working towards implementing various development projects that would benefit future generations by bringing these matters to the attention of the government and urging it to take appropriate action. The association would continue to give priority to public welfare and the overall development of the district.
Speaking on the occasion, District Working President Hariesh Kumar Shetty said that the central committee had constituted the district committee, which had successfully discharged all the responsibilities entrusted to it. Several projects had already been completed, and the cooperation of the central committee was essential for successfully implementing the remaining initiatives. He stated that the district committee was functioning effectively and had undertaken several initiatives, including arranging bus services from Mangaluru International Airport and addressing issues concerning the supply of Netravati river water, along with other development-related matters. Efforts to translate these initiatives into reality were progressing positively. He also appreciated the district committee for its commendable contribution towards the successful organisation of the association’s Silver Jubilee celebrations.
