Moodbidri, November 12: Alva's Nudisiri, the three-day global Kannada conference, began here on Friday with litterateurs M M Kalburgi and Baragur Ramachandrappa asking Kannadigas to intropsect on issues plaguing Kannada language, literature, culture and people.


Kalburgi, in his presidential address wondered why aren't there any Kannadigas who made a mark at the national level?

"In the past 150 years, there have been many Kannadigas who took the lead and made a name in regional, state and local movements. But not a single Kannadiga has made a mark at the national level. When we name national leaders, there are only those from North India. We do not have anyone from Karnataka who has grown as a national leader like Gandhiji. We need to ponder over this issue." Baragur Ramachandrappa, who inaugurated the conference, referred to two attitudes - military manodharma (military attitude) and market manodharma (market attitude)- that are creating havoc in society.

Mohan Alva, chairman, reception committee, said the 10th annual Nudisiri will be celebrated as 'Vishwa Nudisiri' by involving people across India and also abroad. The theme will be "Kannada manassu Andu,Indu, Mundu."

Bengaluru, Jan 10: Karnataka Chief Minister BS Yediyurappa on Friday launched 'Sapthapadi', a mass marriage program in Bengaluru.

The state authorities will provide a mangalsutra worth Rs 40,000 and Rs 5,000 to the groom. They will also give Rs 10,000 to the bride after marriage.

The state government has also informed that the department has shortlisted some temples where the mass marriages will be held.

Yediyurappa also confirmed that the government will help communities like Muslim and Christians also to organise mass marriage as per their respective rituals.

According to the state government guidelines, issued last year in November, both parents of the couple should attend the ceremony if the duo wants to avail benefits of this offer but those who want to marry without their parent's permission do not stand a chance here.

Also, those wanting a love marriage will not be able to reap the benefits of the scheme. The plan is to conduct about 1,000 marriages in 90-100 temples.

The couples wanting to tie the knot are expected to register themselves 30 days before the scheduled date in the temple. Following which a list will be prepared.
