ಮಿನ್ನೆಸೋಟ ಸಂಗೀತ ಕನ್ನಡ ಕೂಟ @ SILC Expo – Judge 2026! 🎉

We are proud to share that Sangeetha Kannada Koota (SKK) Executive President Pavan Ramaiah Shylaja, had the honor of serving as a judge at School of India for Languages and Culture - SILC Expo - 2026.

It was truly an incredible experience witnessing the energy, enthusiasm, and talent of the young students. From thoughtfully designed presentations about India to innovative computer science and social studies projects, the level of creativity and confidence on display was inspiring. It was especially heartening to see young minds take such pride in learning and sharing their knowledge about India.

We sincerely thank SILC for inviting SKK and extending this wonderful opportunity. We look forward to SILC’s continued growth and success in the years ahead.

Proud moment for our Minnesota Kannada Bandhavarru ✨
