Mangalore, October 11: The Kannada Development Authority (KDA) will be holding a four-day-long Kannada Nudi Theru-Jagruthi Jhata in twin coastal districts of Karnataka from October 12 to 15, said KDA Chairman Mukhyamantri Chandru.

Addressing a press meet here on Tuesday, Mr Chandru said that the Jatha, which will be launched on Wednesday, is a part of the efforts of the Authority to create awareness among the non-Kannada-speaking crowd, by involving them in language development activities.

He said that Chief Minister D V Sadananda Gowda would formally inaugurate the Jatha on October 12 at 10 am in Sullia. Mr Gowda, will also lay foundation stone for the proposed Kannada Bhavana on the same occasion, he added.

The stage programme will be inaugurated by Karnataka Rathna Dr D Veerendra Heggade. Jnanpith awardee Chandrasekhara Kambar will launch 'folk art rally'. Sullia MLA S Angara will preside over the function. Kannada and Culture Minister Govinda M Karajola, District-in-charge minister Krishna J Palemar, Muzrai Minister Dr V S Acharya will be the chief guests.

He said KDA has been organising such programmes all over the state to inspire the people and create awareness among them about the importance of Kannada language.

Outlining the objectives of the Jatha, KDA chairman said, "The event would protect and promote a language. And awareness needs to be created as the region has a large non-Kannada-speaking population. We are not against anybody and coercing the non-Kannadigas".

Pointing out that Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts have been a cradle of different languages and culture, he said, even though people in this region speak Tulu, Konkani, Beary, Malayalam etc, they always respect the state language Kannada. “The Jatha will emphasize on the cultural harmony and unity in diversity in this region” he added.

He said that the valedictory programme would be held on October 15 at 4 pm at Govt. Pre-University College in Kundapur. Chandru himself is expected to preside over the valedictory programme.
