Madikeri:

Karnataka Legislative Assembly Speaker U T Khader said that Rs 1 crore will be allocated for the construction of a Beary community hall in Kodagu district, and directed officials to identify suitable land for the project.

He was speaking after inaugurating the first Kodagu District Beary Literary Conference organised by the Karnataka Beary Sahitya Academy in association with the Kodagu Bearys Welfare Trust.

The event was presided over by B A Shamshuddin. Khader said the grant of Rs 1 crore would be facilitated with the support of local MLA Mantar Gowda and Virajpet MLA as well as Chief Minister’s legal advisor A S Ponnanna.

Highlighting the cultural importance of the community, he said Beary culture, literature and traditions have a distinct history and called for efforts to preserve and promote them.

He said the literary conference would help encourage discussions, strengthen the Beary language, and guide the community towards development. It would also help educate youth about Beary literature, culture and history, and provide a platform for exchange of ideas.

Khader also stressed the importance of learning and respecting all languages, stating that in a globally connected world, multilingualism promotes harmony.

Speaking on the occasion, MLA Mantar Gowda assured that funds would be released once land is identified for the construction of the community hall.
