HYDERABAD: To strengthen the culture of Kannada, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai assured necessary assistance to build a community hall for Kannada Sangha in Hyderabad. He was speaking at a programme organised by the Kannadiga community at the Nrupathunga school in Kachiguda.
Quoting national poet KV Puttappa’s lines, “Elladaru Iru, Entaadar Iru, Endendigu Nee Kannadavaagiru,”(wherever you are, be a Kannadiga forever), Basavaraj Bommai said Kannadigas settled in Hyderabad have spread the fragrance of Kannada. Appreciating the local Kannada community for its initiatives for the cause of Kannada in Hyderabad, Bommai assured necessary assistance to build a community hall for the Kannada Sangha of Hyderabad,
Bommai assured that the state government will back all the organisations which are working to enrich Kannada. Grants have been provided for local Kannada organisations for construction of community Halls in Goa, Kasargod and Solhapur. Similarly, grants will be provided for the Hyderabad Kannada Sangha too.
“We will extend all the help for education of Kannada students here. It is heartening to see the love for your mother tongue and motherland even though you are residing away from your motherland,” Bommai said.
Bommai was in Hyderabad to participate in the two-day BJP National Executive meet held on July 2 and 3. (ANI)
