Karnataka Deputy CM mandates hoisting Kannada flag at all institutions and businesses in Bengaluru on State's formation day.
Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Friday (October 11, 2024) said Kannada flag should compulsorily be hoisted at all educational institutions, businesses and factories, including in the information technology and biotechnology sector, in Bengaluru on November 1, the State's formation day.
He said about 50% of people residing in Bengaluru and Bengaluru Urban district are from other States, and they should also give priority to learn Kannada.
"...we are marking 50 years of Mysore state being renamed as Karnataka. November 1 is a day of celebration for Kannadigas...as in-charge Minister for Bengaluru I have formulated a new programme as part of which at all schools and colleges, factories, business including IT-BT sector Kannada flag should be hoisted compulsorily," Mr. Shivakumar said.
An order to this effect would be issued, he told reporters here.
The unofficial but widely regarded yellow and red 'Kannada flag' was designed by Veera Senani Ma Ramamurthy in the 1960s.
"All organisations, educational institutions, factories, businesses and others should compulsorily hoist Kannada flag. Government celebration of Rajyotsava will be held at one place, but at private and government educational institutions too celebrations should be held compulsorily aimed at instilling a sense of love and affection among students towards Kannada language," Mr. Shivakumar said.
Everyone should feel that one cannot live in Karnataka without knowing Kannada, Mr. Shivakumar said.
