Siddipet: Noted Telangana folk singer Yevuri Somanna has undertaken 'Gnana Chaitanya Yatra' to spread awareness among children on the importance of being literate, through folk songs and dances. As part of the 'yatra,' a programme was conducted near Pochamma temple at Dubbaka mandal centre on Sunday. Students of Kasturba Gandhi School and Ramakkapet social welfare Gurukul School attended it.
