Dubai, Oct 7 : Karnataka Sangha Dubai, under the leadership of its president Girish Shetty will felicitate Udupi - Chikmagalur MP Jayaprakash Hegde, who has done enormous work as MP within a span of just seven months. His immense contribution towards the benefit of NRIs in general, specially his efforts in grant of international status to Mangalore Airport will be appreciated and recognized during the 'Karnataka Rajyotsava - 2012' celebrations to be held at Indian Academy School, behind Madina Mall Qusais on November 9 at 4 pm.
It may be recalled that J P Hegde has also initiated an emmigration office in Karnataka with a branch office in Mangalore. The official announcement in this regards is awaited.
Girish Shetty, president of Karnataka Sangha speaking to daijiworld said that the felicitation is due for this great leader, as he follows up the progress of any work that he promises, unlike some other politicians who promise several things when they come here, and then completely forget their promise once they go back. "But J P Hegde has done everything possible to realize all that he promised to us during his visit to Dubai in April 2012."
"All associations in the UAE specially those with coastal connection will be invited. This felicitation will be on behalf of the entire NRI community in the UAE, but Karnataka Sangha is taking the lead," he said.
The event will also feature an entertainment programme by a troupe of 15 members from Pushpanjali Nratya Kala Academy (performance of Dashavatara), and dance performances by local talents. Winners of Puravanakara Dance Competition 2012 will also perform.
Apart from J P Hegde there will be a couple of surprise celebrities who will attend the event, say the organizers.
The entry for the event will be FREE.
