Dear Kannadigas, On the 18th of January 2009, Karnataka Rakshana Vedike (KRV) is organizing a World Kannadiga Awareness Conference at the Palace Grounds in Bengaluru. This conference will serve as platform for KRV to bring together Kannadigas from across the globe and organize very valuable discussions about sustained development of Kannada, Kannadiga and Karnataka, involving both a retrospective and futuristic outlook at the framework of this development.
This conference assumes increased responsibility with the back-drop of the globalization happening around us which has caused increase in employment opportunities, financial developments, uncontrolled migration, emergence of a mall-culture, the nearing corporation election, societal imbalances due to political vicissitudes, to state a few. There is a need for conveying the value of unity among Kannadigas across the globe, the intensity of the problems faced by Kannadigas in their land, and the various ways to effectively tackle these issues to reach the ultimate goal of Kannadiga welfare. The KRV is prepared and committed to help the political parties in Karnataka realize the importance of exercising Kannada centric politics. While it is committed to encouraging non-Kannadigas in Karnataka to join the mainstream of the society, it is also prepared to discourage some of these non-Kannadigas and their associations from resorting to unethical acts in our society. This conference is also going to portray how KRV is prepared to protect the interests of the land, the language and cuture, the waters, as well as its people – be it the farmers, or industrialists, employees, businessmen, students or women of this land.
We (KRV) have realized the value and importance of unity among World Kannadigas in doing whatever is good for the welfare and development of Kannada, Kannadiga, and Karnataka. Kannadigas across the world must join hands and work together towards Kannadiga development, and this historical conference of World Kannadigas is going to stand evidence to this fact by having Kannadigas from across states and countries attending it.

This program will focus on making recognitions to people who have brought honour to Karnataka in diverse fields including folk-art, politics, agricultural movements, social service, literature and arts of various other forms.
In conclusion, this conference shall come up with a set of decisions that have been taken through its duration. These decisions will address the current situation, dreams and aspirations of Kannadigas, ways to help fulfill those dreams, facing all odds that could act as deterrents on this path of excellence.

All important political leaders, including our Chief Minister Dr. B S Yeddyurappa, Kannadiga businessmen and thinkers from across the globe shall be present in this occasion and shall witness these decisions being made in the valedictory of this conference.
Unity among Kannadigas is clearly the emerging solution to the problems Karnataka is facing today.

So, this is a call to every Kannadiga to come attend this conference and make it a successful event in sending out a very important message to Kannadigas across the globe.
