“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop,” the popular words of Confucius inspired Dehali Karnataka Sangha (DKS) to achieve the task of bringing the Kannada Chair at Jawaharlal Nehru University(JNU), New Delhi.
In 2013, a committee formed by DKS to establish Kannada Peeta (Study Centre) at JNU, had sent a proposal requesting establishing of Kannada chair in JNU to JNU Rector Dr.Sudha Pai and Vice Chancellor Prof.Sudhir. Following the request, JNU had prepared a detailed project report involving cost and infrastructure. The report was sent to Government of Karnataka by DKS and Government had sent a delegation of officials from Kannada & Culture department to discuss the matter in detail with JNU during the month of August this year.
Following the favourable report from Kannada & Culture department, Government decided to release Rs.43 lakh as the first instalment.
