Mangalore, July 30: “Although the research on Kannada literature has been in progress for the past 200 years, not even 10 per cent of the prominent Kannada works have been analysed,” said Dr T V Venkatachala Shastri, Retired Professor, Mysore University.

He was speaking after inaugurating a two day national level research workshop on Kannada language organised under the auspices of Dakshina Kannada and Bangalore Kannada Sahithya Parishat at Sharada Vidyalaya here on Saturday.

Calling upon the people to work for the development of Kannada language, he said the harvest is plenty in Kannada literature but labourers are few.

Recalling the works of ancient Kannada poets such as Pampa, Ranna and Kumaravyasa, he observed the need to chronologically document all prominent works of Kannada literature which has a history of over 2000 years.

Dr Shastri lamented that the young generation is forgetting the rich tradition of Kannada poets who have contributed a lot to the regional culture. “We should rejuvenate Kannada culture”, he said.

Prof. M B Puranik, President, Sharada Educational Trust, addressing the gathering regretted how the youth are turning a blind eye on the rich culture and heritage of Kannada land and language. “We should be inspired by the heritage of our language”, he said.

Harikrishna Punarooru, former President, Karnataka State Kannada Sahitya Parishat, Pradeep Kumar Kalkura, President, Dakshina Kannada district Kannada Sahitya Parishat, P N Mayya, Principal, Sharada College and Dr Srinath, Honorary Secretary, Kannada Sahitya Parishat were present among others.

Bengaluru, Apr 7: Former Minister and Leader of the Opposition Siddaramiah on Tuesday termed the shutting by private clinics in the state by doctors as an 'inhuman act'.

Taking to micro-blogging site Twitter, the Congress leader said due to the fear of Novel Coronavirus, the doctors have closed their private clinics, which was against their profession.

This has affected the people, especially those, who are suffering from other deceases. He urged Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa to intervene and resolve the issue immediately.

Despite the government instructions not to close down their clinics, the doctors have not been responding positively, Mr Siddaramaiah noted.

In this connection, the government should act seriously and give necessary warning to the doctors, to either open their clinics to serve the people, or face action, he added.
