Tulu Bhavana should start Tulu classes for public: Palemar

October 2, 2011

Mangalore, October 2: District-in-Charge Minister Krishna J Palemar on Saturday laid foundation stone for Tulu Bhavan at Urva in Mangalore.

Speaking on the occasion, he said Tulu Bhavana should not be a replica of any other concrete structure, but it should depict the culture and heritage of Tulu Nadu. To achieve this, special care should be taken while designing the structure, he added.

Emphasising the need for various Tulu related activities to be taken up in the Tulu Bhavana, the Minister said that provision should be made in the Bhavana to start Tulu classes for the public.

He said that the State government has released Rs 2 crore for the Bhavana and the remaining Rs 2.8 crore will be released next year, if the work is carried out as per the schedule.

MLC Bharathi Shetty, who had played a key role in urging the government to sanction funds for Tulu Bhavana said that she hopes to see the building which would depict the culture of Tulu Nadu.

“I had dreamt of Tulu Bhavana coming up on at least one acre land. I am surprisedd to see that the Bhavana is coming up on 51 cents of area,” said Bharathi Shetty.

Meanwhile, she urged the Government to erect the statue of Rani Abbakka in the heart of the city. “You visit Hubli and you will be shocked to see the proud feeling that Hubli citizens have towards Kittur Rani Chennamma. In contrary, people in Dakshina Kannada are least bothered about Abbakka and have never raised their voice demanding the government to erect a statue of Abbakka,” she said.

Karnataka Tulu Sahitya Academy President Palthadi Ramakrishna Achar said that it was a long pending dream of the Academy to have its own office. “We have a rented office in MCC building. Every month we get a notice from the MCC asking us to pay the pending dues,” he said.

He said that the building would come up in 51 cents land at a cost of Rs 4.8 crore. The first floor will be dedicated to the Academy office, second floor will be for Sabha Bhavana and third floor will have space to develop a library and rooms to accommodate guests.

In his presidential address, Deputy Speaker N Yogish Bhat said that he would sanction Rs 10 lakh for the Tulu Bhavana from the MLA fund.
