The department of Kannada was established in the year of 1948 along with the inception of the Institution. Till the implementation of NEP 2020, Kannada was offered as second language for Undergraduate programmes.Kannada department has created an environment where Kannada language thrives while adapting to the changing times. To encourage creativity among the students debates and discussions are conducted regularly. Students are exposed to Kannada culture and significance through talks from the writers, artists and critics regularly. During Kannadotsava, an avenue is created for students – including those with other language backgrounds – to express their skills. Students are introduced to Kannada theatre through workshops and shows, where they can learn public speaking, fashion, make-up and other skills. Students who have Kannada as their mother tongue are encouraged to teach Kannada to fellow students who are not familiar with Kannada. Apartfrom this, college management has provided a platform to teach Kannada to non-teaching staff who are not familiar with the language. To showcase the richness of Kannada and Karnataka, various local art forms such as Kolata, Dollu Kunita, Yakshagana, Veeragase, Kamsale are regularly conducted in college premises. Along with that book clubs, singing and writing competitions are held at regular intervals. Students are also encouraged to participate in inter-collegiate fests at university level.
