Karnataka chief minister Basavaraj Bommai has written to his Goa counterpart Pramod Sawant seeking at least at least one acre of land to establish a Kannada bhavan for the promotion of Kannada Art and Culture.
Efforts to procure land in Goa by the Karnataka government have turned futile so far.
Therefore, the only possibility is that the government of Goa be kind enough to allot a minimum extent of one acre of land for the construction of the Kannada bhavan in Goa at a place where more Kannadigas reside. It is pertinent to mention here that government of Karnataka has established a Konkani academy long back, and our government provided Rs 3 crore for the construction of the Konkani academy at Mangaluru.
