Miscellaneous - This Day That Age   

dated January 22, 1958: Kannada Sammelan

Inaugurating the Fortieth Kannada Sahithya Sammelana in Bellary on January 18, H.H. Jayachamaraja Wadiar, Governor of Mysore, appealed to the Samithi to work for unity among the people in the integrated areas of Karnataka. He commended the services of the Sammelan in the integration of the different Kannada areas to form the present Mysore State. Emphasising that it should be “the sacred duty” of Government and the leaders to create a congenial atmosphere for the unfettered growth of literature, science and philosophy, the Governor observed that such works should not entirely depend upon the royal patronage. He reminded the writers and publishers of their duties and responsibilities towards the promotion of the welfare of the Society. Remarking that there was less of children’s literature in Kannada, he pleaded for production of more attractive books for the children so that they might develop a taste for reading and owning books.
