Bangalore, Feb 7(TOI): Making Kannada a compulsory subject from class one to four, imposing ban on dubbing of other language films into Kannada, conferring an honorary doctorate on Kannada writer and historian M Chidananda Murthy were part of the nine resolutions adopted by the 77th All-India Kannada Sahitya Sammelana here on Sunday.

Reading out the resolutions adopted at the end of the three-day meet, honorary treasurer of the Kannada Sahitya Parishat Pundalika Halambi said the state government should on priority bring out a uniform education policy and make Kannada mandatory in all schools from class one to four in Karnataka.

The resolution urges the Centre to implement the tri-language education policy that seeks to educate children in their mother tongue, English and a regional language spoken in their respective areas. The sammelana views this as a solution for the possible ethnic crisis in future.

Another resolution says a strong 'No' to dubbing films: the government should bring out stringent law to end the dubbing of other language films into Kannada. "Unlike others, Kannada industry had kept itself away from dubbing menace for the last 40 years. It's high time we restricted dubbing. If done, it gives ample opportunity to local people to prove their talent," Kananda Sahitya Parishat president Nallur Prasad said.
