Website on writers launched

Kannada Sahitya Academy has launched, a website to disseminate information about Kannada literature and littirateurs. Academy chairman M H Krishnaiah told reporters here on Thursday that the website will also have information on Jnanpith awardees and their works.

He said arrangements are being made to videograph the recitation of poems by poets at their homes so they can be on the website. "So far, the recording of 65 poets has been completed. These poems will be sung by children. KSA will organize special programmes to celebrate the birth centenary of writers S S Malawad, G P Rajaratnam, V K Gokak, Raobahaddur and Joladrashi Doddanagouda," he added.
