Promoting Kannada
Delivering presidential address at the inaugural programme, Sammelana President Ananth Nadig said that Kannada can survive only when it becomes our lifestyle.
“The attitude of the people towards Kannada should change. The bad development of punishing children who speak in Kannada in English medium schools has to be stopped. Kannada should be spoken by a large number of people to survive.”
He felt the need for identifying litterateurs in Tarikere taluk and promoting them.
The taluk has conducive atmosphere for litterateurs which should be further enhanced.
Unfortunately, the politicians in Tarikere taluk lack the farsightedness that the politicians of neighbouring taluk have.
The political leaders should work towards the comprehensive development of the taluk, he said.
