    Father Prashanth Madtha, no one can forget your contribution to Kannada because every week your articles/ writings appeared in Kannada Udayavani, and people understood many things by reading them because your knowledge is vast, like an ocean. You have also been the principal and a Kannada professor at St. Aloysius College. Congratulations on winning the Rajya Prashasti with great respect. May God grant you good health, and may many more writings come from your pen.
