Cultural programme held as part of Kannada Rajyotsava celebrations in Udupi
Referring to Tulu’s second official language status in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts, Khader said the govt also plans to consider celebrating Sept 18 as ‘Tulu Day’ to commemorate the cabinet meeting held in Mangaluru, where the resolution was adopted. “Utilising 7 acres of land available at our own Trasi and Maravanthe beaches, it has been decided to set up a resort, various amusement parks, and sports activities at a cost of Rs 48 crore rupees. Approval has been granted for the Karnataka Marine Biotechnology Policy, under which steps have been taken to establish the Karnataka Institution of Marine Technology and Blue Economy at the Govt Fisheries College, and a decision has also been taken to increase the student strength of the Fisheries College from 60 to 200,” he announced.
Mangaluru: District minister UT Khader said Sunday that one does not need to hate or reject other languages to love Kannada. “True love for a language is not based on hatred; it lies in loving our language, respecting other languages, integrating their best aspects into our own, and helping the language grow further,” he said. The health minister said Kannada must develop quality scientific literature, technical resources, and educational content. Kannada should not merely be a language that uses technology, but a language that contributes to technological growth, he said. Udupi district minister Rizwan Arshad, participating in a Kannada Rajyotsava celebration, said Udupi is naturally the land and home of the intelligent and conscious. Udupi’s contribution to the great tradition of Kannada is immense, he said Although Tulu Nadu is a major part of the culture. “It is truly very saddening and painful that attempts are being made to sow poison among the people in a land with such a grand heritage,” the civil supplies minister said.
He delivered the Kannada Rajyotsava address at Nehru Maidan. The sea is our real and greatest wealth.
