Knowledge of the Mother tongue of a country plays a very important role in the development of a person. Recently, the Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) on Friday issued a circular making it compulsory for all self-governing engineering colleges affiliated to VTU to compulsorily teach a Kannada language course for B.E, B.Tech, B.Planning and B.Arch students. The updated circular was issued on the direction of the Kannada Development Authority. Earlier in August, VTU had announced that only government colleges under VTU will have the mandatory Kannada lessons.
