HAMPI UNIVERSITY TO CONFER HON.DOCTORATE TO KANNADA PRIDE B.K.SUMITHRA


HAMPI  KANNADA UNIVERSITY TO CONFER “ NADOJA “  HONORARY DOCTORATE  ON “KANNADA KOGILE” B.K.SUMITHRA.


There now seems to be some order in those wise and gracious heads who matter while recognizing the true and selfless ambassadors of art, culture and literary world.

Karnataka can now pompously pride ourselves on certain specific achievements in respective areas despite odds going against. Should 2012 witness  Dr.Chandrashekara Kambar being conferred Jnanapeetha Award for his invaluable contribution in literary field, the dawn of 2013 saw well known Theatre personality, B.Jayashri being bestowed by ‘Padma Shri’, Cricket Legend Rahul Dravid by ‘Padma Bhushan’ and now, a nick name B.K.Sumithra who is selected by Hampi Kannada University for the coveted “Nadoja” Honorary Doctorate. For a while, there seems to be a windfall of goodies following suit.


“Kannada Kogile” B.K.Sumithra is such a household name in Kannada Sugama Sangeetha scenario for decades when people used to hem and haw from pursuing music. By conferring "NADOJA" Hon.Doctorate on her, Hampi Kannada University has made righteous choice. Her passion for music today is as greener and stronger as it was at a very tender age while she tirelessly embarks on travel to nooks and corners of the horizon to conduct various workshops to popularize music. Her undying spirit and enthusiasm has thus carried her onto Hall of Fame at last. May such tribe grow in zillions.
