Deputy Commissioner of Dharwad Divya Prabhu G.R.J. has said that as “we celebrate Independence Day, it is important that children are sensitised about historical fights and achievements of the country.”
Inaugurating a photography exhibition on North Karnataka’s architecture, heritage and monuments in Dharwad on Monday, she said that the district administration has lined up a series of programmes in this connection.
The exhibition was jointly organised by the Archaeological Survey of India and the district administration.
