Good interview, best wishes to the President and Directors to lead the Society to become a Bank soon. Members make use of the facilities offered, Investors, patronise this unit, to make it grow in strength, of course, the ground staff have a big role to play, in the process of developing it to be a Bank.All in all let us accept it as our own financial firm and let us  be a part of its progress.

It is now about 25 - 30 years; there was no forum for youth of Barkur. Students pursuing their studies in PUC and very few in Colleges,were really looking for one.

The status of girls was even worse, and we studied in the Convent Girl's High School, habituated to cultural activities and liking for such, but nothing or no mechanism for its furtherance or collective personality development, either in the Church or Society.

But you, our juniors were lucky to have Fr.Henry there at Barkur at right time, to start CYM of Barkur. You ask those who deprived of.. The importance of such Associations..!

While reading the 'Archie’s Corner' about CYM's Silver Jubillee, an impressive open INVITATION feel envy, as many like me didn’t had such opportunities.

Dear youngsters of Barkur, this is a great gift, make the best use of it to develop your talents, the significance of which now may be difficult to imagine, but day will come in your life, when you grow and your children start questioning you..?

One more point impressed me was the unity of old and present members, as I read about some, in this site few days back.

Once again, youngsters, go-ahead, success will be yours.

We join you, to congratulate all of you, who benefited through this and pray for the success of all events planned.

Dear Readers and specially CYM Members & Advisors,

As the roads are vital lifelines, and there is no shortcut
to progress without links to towns.

May I suggest ICYM, to visit local Panchayat Members, in group, [say you have almost 100, after your every regular meetings,] and first request them to take lead in convincing people who have to donate land, those reluctant to give up, persuade them to accept alternative pieces of nearby land.

This to be done on war footing, don't allow the issue to cool down. If not succeed ask them, - lazy fellows only - to step down, from the Panchayat, so that others, capable can take up the job.
Understand your local MLA Mr. Hegde, and MP Mr. Sorake, ready with a helping hand to support you as I 've seen personally, their enthusiasm and goodwill.

Only thing you have to take care is to get the land cleared, which is not so easy. But unity has strength, no leader of repute, ignore you.
There are various schemes of Govt. both state and Center, like Sadak, Namma Hola, namma Daari, etc. capitalize on this, and bring a REVOLUTION IN BARKUR, to commemorate your Silver Jubilee Year.

Wish you all the Best, and hope to drive through during one such Road, to attend your Celebrations in December!!

Back in Barkur, the name synonymous with development of Roads was, Mr. Shantaharama Shetty. There stand few useful sub-roads around Barkur, to substantiate this claim.

My suggestions, a rather request to my friends, in Barkur is to approach, appeal and convince this great son of Barkur to complete the pending mission of connecting Kachhur-Halekody.

I also feel bit improvements of existing one's and a link to Sasthan via Moodahadu - Pandeshwar - Hosala will prove to be a boon in the long run!!

All youth organisations, including church youth club, Mogaveera Sangha, Billavara Association, Rotary,Lions and other public minded people should take initiative instead of hankering to Political chamchas, known for self progress..? or let us give long rope once again to find reasons to further delay...!

Thanks and best wishes,

Dear Friends,

Why only all roads, now Barkur is gifted with a Railway Station, where, Mumbai bound Express,  and Goa  train daily passenger stops. It appears a great event is in waiting in Barkur.
We wish all the functions & you, especially the ICYM Member's all the very best!!

It is heartening and satisfying to note your youth club reaching the land mark of Silver Jubillee year of purposeful existence. Let this be a model to similar units in the Varado!!!
