He said that the Government has made a big contribution to the society by increasing the reservation.
“The Ramayana written by Valmiki is a great book. Valmiki’s ideals should be imbibed. We too should be transformed like Valmiki. Valmiki Jayanti was celebrated at the Taluk level. Now it has behun happening at the Hobli level. The Jayanti should be held in every village and every nook and corner to commemorate Valmiki, he said.
