Mangalore, November 18: There will be no compromise on the issues of Kannada language, land and border of the state, said Karnataka Chief Minister D V Sadananda Gowda.

He was speaking after inaugurating the 17th district Kannada Sahitya Sammelana organised by Dakshina Kannada District Kannada Sahitya Parishat at Sri Satya Sayi Seva Vidya Kendra at Alike in Bantwal taluk near here on Friday.

He said that all possible measures would be taken for the promotion of Kannada language.

He opined that Kannada is a rich language, which deserves to be identified at the national level and hence it has got the classical status. ”We have already bagged the classical status. Now our government's priority will be to implement it effectively”, he said.

Mr Gowda reiterated that there would be no closure of Kannada medium schools which are along the border.

“However, students with less strength would be transferred to another school which is nearby. The same would be applied to the teachers as well”, he added.

He said that the government will emphasise on usage of Kannada in every department of the state. “Everyone should contribute for the 100 per cent implementation of the same. Government is stern on its stand that Kannada education must be imparted to students at primary level itself and there will be no compromise in this issue,” he said.

The Chief Minister also said that a delegation would be formed under the leadership of Dharmasthala Dharmadhikari Dr D Veerendra Heggade in order to exert pressure on the Union government for the inclusion of Tulu in the 8th schedule of the Indian Constitution.
