The women’s organizations not only teach women on how to save, but also help create awareness among women thereby leading to an awakened society, he observed.

    Dr. VS, That probably will be the first good you will be doing in your life to get Tulu included in the 8th schedule. Yet knowing you I am doubtful, once you cross the Ghats this would be the last thing you will remember.
