About the awardees     

Sangappa is a well-known name in teaching circles of Mysuru. Regarded as a creative teacher who has dedicated his life to enhance the knowledge of children, Sangappa has organised many debates, cultural events, essay competitions, competitions for language, science quiz and mathematics assignments.

There are many occasions where Sangappa has donated money from his own pocket for those students who could not afford schooling. He has even reserved a part of his pension to help poor students. 75-year-old Sangappa hails from K.R. Nagar and has served as a teacher in Mysuru, Hassan and Mandya. His simplicity and down-to-earth character was illustrated at the wedding of his daughter where bicycles and sewing machines were distributed to poor students. His son’s wedding was like an all-religion conference.

He visits various schools and popularises the art and trains the students in the same.
