Status on 04/11/09 - Classical Language Status to Kannada

Kannada language is yet to get the benefits of its classical language status although it has been made than a year ago. A language with classical status gets Two International awards for eminent scholars, which goes to two Kannada scholars, a center for excellence for studies in Kannada and professional chairs on Kannada have to be created in central university under UGC.

It would be great if the government forms a department for publishing books in Kannada and be made available at cheaper prices to the common man.

I was really happy when i saw many Kannada book stalls in Bangalore Book Festival this year. If some organisation or government brings the translation of great Kannada literature into English or local languages like Telugu, Tamil, Hindi and so on, then people like me who don't know Kannada can also benefit from these great writings.
