Shivamogga’s Karnataka Sangha has been successfully promoting the language for the last 91 years.
The Sangha, situated in a building named after renowned areca merchant Hasoodi Venkatashastri, is one of the prominent destinations for literature enthusiasts from across the state, especially those from undivided Shivamogga district and Malnad regions.
Inaugurated by Rahstra Kavi and Jnanpith awardee Kuvempu on November 8, 1930, the Sangha is engaged in literary activities throughout the year, conducting interactions and lectures, publishing books, organising exhibitions and cultural programmes, and conferring awards.
