Various academicians, Kannada scholars and officials of the Education
Department have gathered today to discuss State government’s 1994 language
policy.

The meeting chaired by Minister of State for Primary and Secondary
Education, Kimmane Ratnakar where Kannada writers such as Chandrashekar
Kambar, K.S. Nissar Ahmed, Advocate General, Ravi Varma Kumar as well as
Minister for Kannada and Culture, Umashree.

There is mounting pressure on the government to resolve the language policy
crisis after Karnataka High Court urged the Education Department to
consider application from a school for starting English medium.

Earlier in May, the Supreme Court had quashed the state’s 1994 language
policy which states that lower primary classes should be in the regional
language or child’s mother tongue.
