Speaker UT Khader will inaugurate the event on Thursday, and KDA will reportedly set up 20 Kannada learning centres in Bengaluru. These learning centres will teach the native language to the people of Kerala who moved to Bengaluru to live. There is a good chunk of the Malayali population in Bengaluru who migrated to the tech capital for education, employment and business purposes. The regular sessions will begin in the second week of August, and interested people must register their names at KDA centers.

Earlier, Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah said that people who live in Karnataka should learn Kannada. He also called Kannadigas ‘generous’ and said they must create a Kannada atmosphere in the state.

He said, “Kannadigas must create an atmosphere of Kannada in the state. Everyone must decide to speak only in Kannada with the people who live in this land. Speaking in our mother tongue in our land must make us feel proud.”

The recent Kannada reservation Bill, which brings reservation for Kannadigas in private firms, sparked a row among the tech circles. However, the Bill was put on hold after it received massive backlash from various sectors of people.
