His achievement not only brings pride to Barkur but also highlights the importance of creative approaches in disaster management training.

Veerendra Heggade, the Dharmadhikari of Shri Kshetra Dharmasthala, personally presented the award to Manjunath Poojari and blessed him for his accomplishment.
This recognition is a testament to Manjunath's dedication not only to the Shaurya Disaster Management Committee but also to various social service activities he has been actively involved in. His win serves as an inspiration to others in the community to engage in social service and disaster preparedness.
The SKDRDP's initiative to combine disaster management training with creative contests demonstrates an innovative approach to community preparedness. By making life-saving techniques more engaging and memorable through song, they are potentially increasing the effectiveness of their training programs.
This achievement by Manjunath Poojari puts Barkur on the map in the field of community disaster preparedness and showcases the talent and social consciousness of its residents. It is hoped that this recognition will inspire more people to get involved in such crucial community service activities.
