Rajendra Singh (Babu) Chief guest Dr. Veerendra Heggade, Dharmadhikari of Shree Kshetra Dhamasthala who presented the award to Rajendra Singh said in his address, artists through their cinema have the power to make an impact and stay etched in the minds of people. The hard work they put into a film packaged in three hours is amazing; in this short span they live through the joys and sorrows of life enabling audience to experience them. It is essential to recognise and applaud this. Recalling the contributions made to society by veteran actors Dr. Rajkumar and Dr. Vishnuvardhan, Dr. Heggade said, cinema has become a guiding factor in politics and society; this has been increasing the popularity of cinema artists. There is no greater treasure than acquiring the love and appreciation of people. If veteran actors like Dr. Raj Kumar and 10

Saroja Devi, while others join Dr.Vishnuvardhan have garnered so much love and respect it is because they have incorporated and practiced good values in their personal lives and have given back to society in the form of service. Such compassion and philanthropy is seen only in a few people. Cinema has played a significant role in shaping the economy and social fabric of society. It is only when artists incorporate values they portray on the silver screen into their real lives and become role models that society will recognise and 11 respect them. One of the mass marriages performed in Sreekshetra Dharmasthala has been showcased in the film Shravana Banthu. Former minister and veteran actor Ambarish who graced the occasion said, one need not be in politics to render service to people. Dr. Veerendra Heggade is a classic example of this; the amount of service they have rendered to society in terms of healthcare and education is unparalleled.
