Maharshi Valmiki had earned the admiration of all for spreading harmony, love, sacrifice, and development-oriented governance across the world through his poetry, said Minister for Social Welfare and Minister in charge of Mysuru district H.C. Mahadevappa.
Speaking at the Maharshi Valmiki Jayanthi celebrations organised by the Mysuru District Administration, Mysuru Zilla Panchayat, Scheduled Castes Welfare Department, Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation, and Nayaka community leaders at Kalamandira in Mysuru on Saturday, Mr. Mahadevappa paid glowing tributes to the poet and celebrated author of the epic Ramayana.
Admiring him for writing such quality poetry while wandering in the hills and forests, Mr. Mahadevappa hoped that Valmiki’s culture, human values, and foresight would guide the oppressed classes and communities.
