The works of ‘Mahakavi’ Gurajada Appa Rao on social issues, including his magnum opus ‘Kanyasulkam’, continue to inspire youth, say Gurajada Samskritika Samakhya president P.V. Narasimha Raju and general secretary K. Prakash.
On the occasion of the litterateur’s death anniversary on November 30 (Thursday), the Samakhya took out a rally and organised the ‘Gurajada Sahiti Chaitanyotsavam’, a literary debate on his works.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Prakash said the Samakhya had been organising competitions for the students to enable them to know about the great works of Gurajada Appa Rao, who had brought laurels to Vizianagaram.
