Addressing the gathering on this stage, DCM D.K. Shivakumar said, I am very happy to see all of you. This is the festival of the people of Kunigal, their celebration. A human being is born with four debts — debt to parents, debt to teachers, debt to God, and debt to society. We have already repaid the debt to society by successfully implementing the five guarantees. Yesterday, Srinivasa’s Kalyanotsava was held with great splendor. Tomorrow, 70,000 laddus will reach every home in Kunigal he said.
