Mysore :Kannada is not a mere language; it’s everything in life, said state revenue and Mysore district-in-charge minister V Srinivas Prasad.

The minister Srinivas Prasad was delivering his message after hoisting Kannada flag during fifty-eighth Kannada Rajyotsav that was organized by district administration at the compound of Kote Anjaneyaswamy temple, here on Friday November 1.

He further said that Kannada is enriched by Kannadiga litterateurs who bagged 8 Jnana Peeta awards.Kannada has over 2,000 years of glorious history and is a classical language in the nation, added minister Srinivas Prasad.

The erstwhile Kannada land was extended from Cauvery to Godavari; a fertile land indeed.  There thrived communal harmony as exemplified by Rastra Kavi Kuvempu in one of his poetry. Each ruler who reigned in this land fostered traditional culture like the fragrance of sandalwood, emphasized minister Srinivas.

The minister Srinivas added that the state authorities have launched several programmes to promote Kannada, such as reservation in jobs, publishing books, organizing Kannada Sahitya Sammelan, etc.  He also urged the people to buy Kannada newspapers to promote mother tongue and conveyed his best wishes on the occasion of Rajyotsav celebrations.

He also accepted the guard of honor from 14 police infantry units including horse-mounted police on the occasion.

The mayor Rajeshwari Somu, deputy mayor Shailendra Kumar, regional commissioner Jayanti, DC C Shikha, City Police Commissioner Dr Salim, MP H Vishwanat, MLAs Vasu, Somashekar, Tanveer Shet and G T Deve Gowda, zilla panchayat presient Koorgalli Mahadevu and others were present on the occasion.
