  "account": "Students from NES College of Education performed a street play called \"Manushyaragona\" (Let’s become human beings) at Mahatma Gandhi Park in Shivamogga on Friday as part of National Legal Services Day. The play aimed to educate the public about the Legal Services Authority and its role in advocating for the oppressed and providing justice. The performance highlighted various societal issues such as the allure of modern technology, cyber fraud, and the detrimental effects of alcoholism on families.\n\nAt the event's opening, M.S. Santhosh, secretary of the District Legal Services Authority and a judge, emphasized that law extends beyond crime and court cases to encompass every citizen's fundamental rights to life, protection, and dignity. He urged people to actively learn about the law, rather than passively accepting injustice due to lack of awareness. N.K. Chidananda, the college principal, reflected on the region's historical appreciation for justice, from ancient Ashoka's rule to the established governance systems of past monarchies. He stressed that these principles of rules and justice are deeply rooted in India's civilizational heritage.\n\nC.M. Nripatunga, the Public Relations Officer of the National Education Society, explained the program's goals. Program officer Manju N.D. and Sharan were among those present. The event concluded with remarks from various participants.",
