A committee will be formed to plan the year-long celebrations of ‘Karnataka Sambhrama-50’ to mark the golden jubilee of the renaming of the State as Karnataka, Minister for Kannada and Culture Shivaraj Tangadagi has said.
He was addressing presspersons after interacting with writers and artists here on Monday. The preparatory meeting was held at Bengaluru and Belagavi divisions, and collected the suggestions from writers and artists. The last leg of the preparatory meeting will be held at Mysuru Revenue Division on September 4. The inputs gathered from all the four revenue divisions will be submitted to the committee for finalising the calendar of events for a year-long programme from November 1, 2023. The final blueprint would be released tentatively by September 10, Mr. Tangadagi said.
Replying to a question, he said that the State government will soon take a decision on establishing Siddaiah Puranik Prathisthan.
