HUBBALLI: The state govt had allocated Rs 2 crore to set up M M Kalburgi Research Centre at Karnatak University Dharwad (KUD) in the 2016-17 price range. Even after two yr after the announcement, no development is seen over the proposal. With the trade in govt, scholars, activists and Kalburgi’s fans fear that the centre may not grow to be a reality and it's going to be a forgotten factor of the past.
Writer and activist Shankar Halagatti advised TOI that there used to be no replace at the proposed centre.
“Neither the government nor KUD have shared any updates at the proposal. We suspect some vested pursuits are in the back of this intentional negligence. If it goes unattended, the dream of having a analysis centre named after Kalburgi will be forgotten by way of all and sundry. It will be a great setback for the analysis sector of the state and country as smartly,” he mentioned.
Veteran linguist and Padmashri awardee Prof Ganesh N Devy, who led a motion towards fascist forces after prof Kalburgi’s assassination in Dharwad, mentioned he had heard concerning the proposed centre on August 30, 2016 from then higher training minister Basavaraj Rayaraddi at Srujana Ranga Mandir, Dharwad. “The minister had assured of putting in place the centre at the earliest. And that is the closing replace that I heard from the government. It’s very unhealthy that the analysis centre has not been set up yet,” he mentioned.
‘Both KUD, executive not performing’
Basavaraj Sulibhavi, convenor, Kalburgi, Pansare, Dabholkar Hatya Virodhi Vedike, Dharwad, alleged that KUD has not taken any interest in the analysis centre.
“It used to be the obligation of KUD to put into effect the announcement made in the price range. When KUD used to be silent about it, the government should have insisted KUD to move forward with the paintings. But it did not happen. At the other end, activists fighting for justice for Kalburgi, were also saved out of the entire proceedings. As a result, none is aware concerning the standing of the centre,” he alleged.
Shashidhar Todkar, the important of Hiremallur Ishwaran PU College Dharwad, and a scholar of Kalburgi, mentioned that a delegation of writers and activists had personally met then leader minister Siddaramaiah and then higher training minister Rayaraddi in Dharwad and Bengaluru.
“As we had a fear of the analysis centre changing into any other inactive find out about bench in the varsity, we had sought a national memorial believe or a analysis centre at the traces of Manjeshwar Govind Pai Research Centre under the keep an eye on of the deputy commissioner. But nothing has happened,” he mentioned.
J M Nagayya, director, Shree Basaveshwar Peetha, KUD, who used to be designated as coordinator for the proposed analysis centre, mentioned KUD has made all preparations to set up the centre. “Despite our many letters, we now have not won any price range or a response from the government. Probably the government stopped it when some writers approached it right through the meeting session in Belagavi and demanded an impartial believe,” he mentioned.
