International Anti-corruption Day Observed

On the occasion of the International Anti-Corruption Day (9-12-10), Sadvidya Pathashala Pre-University College organized a workshop for its students on 11-12-10. The workshop was conducted by MGP activist Vasanthkumar Mysoremath.
Under the guidance of Mysoremath, the students created a short play on corruption (a tehsildar demanding a bribe of Rs.50,000 from a farmer for land use conversion and the farmer complaining to the Lokayukta). The humorous skit was performed on stage and thoroughly enjoyed by the audience.
Mysoremath spoke briefly on the guidelines laid down by the United Nations Convention of Anti-corruption for the more than 140 signatory countries. He also administered an oath to the students to fight corruption in their future life (see photo).
Smt.Vijayalakshmi, Lecturer in Biology and Krishna Mohan were present.
