Writers demand State government set up prathisthans named after literary scholars

The Hindu  

Writers have sought that the State government set up prathisthans named after eminent literary scholars Chennanna Walikar and Shantarasa Hemberalu. A group of writers from Kalaburagi district would take a delegation to Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and urge him to set up Prathisthans in the name of eminent literary scholars — Chennanna Walikar and Shantarasa Hemberalu. Dr. Kulkarni and Dr. Jangamshetty said that a delegation from the region would meet Chief Minister Siddaramaiah tentatively on January 10 in Bengaluru and appeal to him to set up pratishthans named after Chennanna Walikar and Shantarasa Hemberalu. Highlighting the disparities between Kalyana Karnataka and the rest of Karnataka, Dr. Jangamshetty said that the State government has set up 27 prathisthans in the names of eminent personalities who have contributed to different fields from different districts across the State, except Kalyana Karnataka region.
