Bengaluru: The State Government has reinstated the application system for the selection of Kannada Rajyotsava awardees starting this year. Moving away from the selection committee-based process, the Government is reverting to the previous system, allowing individuals to apply directly for the Rajyotsava awards.
Speaking to the press after a preliminary meeting on Thursday regarding Suvarna Karnataka valedictory and Kannada Rajyotsava preparations, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah announced that 69 personalities will be given the Rajyotsava Award this year, commemorating the 69th edition of Kannada Rajyotsava.
