Madikeri : 

International Coffee Day was observed with fervour across Kodagu. While the women of Codagu Women’s Coffee Awareness Body (CWCAB) served hot cups of filter coffee in the morning, the Rotary Club members served coffee to everyone gathered at Raja’s Seat in the evening. 

“We want to promote our coffee and we decided to use the opportunity of the International Coffee Day to serve everyone a warm cup of filter coffee,” said Jyothika Bopanna, the Joint Secretary of CWCAB and added that the government needs to support the sector as production has come down. The international coffee day was observed in Madikeri at Coffee Krupa building.

Meanwhile, the Rotary Misty Hills organisation hosted a unique inaugural event to introduce Coorg Coffee to tourists. A total of 1,000 cups of filter coffee was sponsored by Rotary Misty Hills and the event was inaugurated by DC Charulata Somal and ZP CEO Bhanwar Singh Meena, who signed the painting of a coffee cup created by artist BR Satish.

With only a few days left for the elections, novel campaigns are being launched to make an impact on the voters to turn up to the polling booths and cast their votes on May 10.

One such campaign was held in Madikeri by the Kodagu SVEEP Committee where hundreds of people, using mobile phone flashlights, created words ‘I Vote’, on Sunday evening at General Thimmaiah Stadium.   

Despite the threat of rain, people gathered at the stadium to spread the message the importance of voting using their mobile phones. Switching on their mobile flashlights, they created ‘I Vote’ words and later waved the phones with the flashlights on with a pledge to ensure they vote and others also vote in the coming elections.

This is a joint initiative of Kodagu SVEEP Committee, Madikeri Rotary Club, Rotary Misty Hills, and Rotary Woods, along with other organisations.

Speaking on the occasion, Deputy Commissioner and District Election Officer B.C. Satish gave a call for voting without fail on May 10.  “Everyone must vote,” he said.

The district administration has identified polling booths that reported low voter turnout on Kodagu and those booths were getting the focus with drives being carried out for increasing voting percentage.

Kodagu SVEEP Icon Basavaraj Badiger and team presented a musical programme where his daughters, including the winner of a music reality show, Pragathi Badiger, and her sisters Pratiksha Badiger and Triveni Badiger presented a programme. Songs by the members of Madikeri taluk Janapada Parishat also drew the attention of the participants.

SVEEP Icons K. Ravi Muthappa and S.K. Eshwari also spoke on the importance of voting. On behalf of Rotary Club, Anil H.T. and Madikeri Chamber of Commerce and Industry M. Dhananjay oversaw the drive.
