Journalist, writer and activist Patil Puttappa, who led Karnatak Vidyavardhak Sangha (KVVS) for 52 years towards the cause of Kannada and Kannadigas, should always serve as a model and guide to all those committed to the cause, writer Srinivas Wadappai has said.
He was speaking at the 104th birth anniversary celebrations of Pa Pu (Patil Puttappa) at Karnatak Vidyavardhak Sangha in Dharwad on Sunday.
Mr. Wadappi said that Patil Puttappa, who was inspired by Mahatma Gandhi during his student days, worked persistently for the cause of Kannada.
