Vidyavardhak Sangha all set for polls
The Hindu
Process to start on Nov. 12, polling on Nov. 28
The more-than-a-century-old Karnatak Vidyavardhaka Sangha, a representative body of Kannada and Kannadigas, based in Dharwad, is all set to choose a new body with the election process scheduled to begin on November 12.
In the last five decades, this is for the first time in the history of the organisation that the elections will be held in the absence of veteran journalist-activist Patil Puttappa, who held the sangha president’s post for 48 years. Nonagenarian Puttappa was re-elected to the post during the previous election and the post fell vacant after his demise in March 2020.
The elections for the new body of 15 members was scheduled take place in May, but was put off following the COVID-19 situation. The calendar of events for the election has been announced now. The election process will begin on November 12 and polling will be held on November 28.
