Madikeri, May 5, DHNS:

None of the governments in the State have made an attempt to implement
language policy, other than announcing. This has affected the progress
of Kannada language, opined Ornithologist Dr S V Narasimhan.  Speaking
at the 95th founders day of Kannada Sahithya Parishat in Madikeri on
Wednesday, he said the politicians who have been speaking on the
implementation of Kannada language are supporting English medium

Kannada medium schools and have remained socially backward owing to

at these sammelan never gets considered, he lamented.

role in the development of Kannada.”  District Kannada Sahithya
Parishat President T P Ramesh said district Kannada Sahithya Sammelan
will be held at Ammathi this year.
