Amid the spiralling row over revision of school textbooks in the State, Minister for Education B.C. Nagesh offered to meet Kannada writers who have asked the State government to drop their writings in the school curriculum.
On Tuesday, writers Devanur Mahadeva and G. Ramakrishna had said that they will revoke permission to use their writings in textbooks in protest against the revision committee dropping works of several progressive writers.
Reacting to Mr. Mahadeva’s letter to the State government revoking permission to use his writing, Mr. Nagesh said he will meet the writer and convince him not to do so.
