Kasargod: “Literature and reading increases humanity among us. Literature can transform our behavior and character,” said CM media Secretary and Journalist Dinesh Ameen Mattu.

He was speaking after inaugurating ‘Gadinada Kale Sahitya Samskratika Academy’ at badiyadka on Monday.

“Literature has inspired many people to be the reason for the revolution. But the new age literature is not responding to the social issues. Literature should resemble the society. Young generation should be exposed towards creative literature,” he said.

Further he opined that writers have gifted their valuable writings in the change of the society. Those people should be remembered at this point of time.

Badiyadka GP President Krishna Bhat, former MLA P C Vishnunath, H M Raghavendra, narayana Mate and others were present.
