While the State is celebrating 50 years of being named Karnataka, the implementation of teaching Kannada as a compulsory language continues to be a challenge. From legal hurdles to reservations of parents and schools, there are obstacles galore for Kannada to be taught as a compulsory language in all schools.
Amidst all this, the Karnataka government is ready to frame regulations for the Kannada Language Comprehensive Development Act, 2022, which was passed by both Houses during the previous BJP government’s tenure. An expert committee has been constituted headed by Kannada and Culture Minister Shivaraj S. Thangadagi.
“Our committee has already held three meetings and discussed how to formulate appropriate regulations according to the Act. The work of drafting the rules is in progress. After the rules are finalised, we will discuss with the Chief Minister and appropriate action will be taken to implement it,” he told to The Hindu.
