In a significant move aimed at promoting and safeguarding the Kannada language, the Karnataka government has announced a new directive requiring Multi-National Companies (MNCs) operating within the state to publicly disclose the number of Kannadigas employed at their facilities.

In a move aimed at promoting the use of Kannada language and safeguarding the interests of Kannadigas, the Karnataka government has announced stringent measures for Multi-National Companies (MNCs) operating within the state. The Culture Minister, Shivaraj S Tangadagi, emphasized that failure to adhere to these new regulations could result in severe consequences, including the cancellation of permissions granted to these companies.
Minister Tangadagi underscored the importance of promoting and preserving the Kannada language, stating that MNCs and industries must prominently display the number of Kannadigas employed within their campuses. This directive follows discussions within the Siddaramaiah-led cabinet, indicating a concerted effort by the government to uphold linguistic and cultural identity.
"There is a need to promote and protect the Kannada language. The Multi-National Companies and industries must display the number of Kannadigas working in their campuses," Minister Tangadagi affirmed to reporters.
The minister further warned that organizations failing to comply with the new regulations would face severe consequences. "The permissions of the companies will be cancelled if they do not follow the government orders," he asserted. A dedicated committee will be established to formulate a framework outlining the implementation and enforcement of these rules.
Additionally, the government is poised to introduce an app titled 'Kannada Kavalu,' providing a platform for individuals to report instances of language discrimination. This initiative aligns with the government's broader efforts to ensure linguistic inclusivity and protect the rights of Kannada speakers.
This recent development follows the passage of a bill by the Karnataka Legislative Assembly mandating the use of Kannada in signboards of businesses and establishments across the state. The bill, championed by the Siddaramaiah-led Congress government, underscores the significance of linguistic identity and cultural heritage.
"In the rules, we will provide for cancellation of licences. Only when licences are cancelled will businesses and establishments feel the pinch. When issuing fresh licences or renewing existing licences, we will first ensure that they have complied with the rules on using Kannada in (name) boards," Tangadagi elaborated.
The government's proactive stance reflects its commitment to preserving Karnataka's linguistic and cultural heritage while ensuring equitable opportunities for Kannadigas in the workforce. As these regulations take effect, MNCs operating in Karnataka will be required to demonstrate transparency regarding their employment practices, contributing to the promotion and protection of the Kannada language and its speakers.
