September 23, 2009 made a mark in the history of St Joseph’s College, as it saw the opening of Kannada Infomedia, a website initiated by the students to propagate Kannada as a language and culture and help the non Kannada speaking community to learn the language.
The inauguration witnessed the presence of Padmashree M S Sathyu, Fr (Dr) Ambrose Pinto and Dr Vijayaraghavan (HOD of the Kannada department). The chief guest of the day was M S Sathyu, an Oscar nominated director and film maker.
M S Satyu said, “It is very important to learn Kannada language and culture if you are in Karnataka. Kannada Infomedia is a very good idea and a platform for non-Kannadigas to learn this language.”
Principal, Fr Ambrose Pinto in his speech explained the importance of Kannada and said, “Our
institution has students of different countries. This website will help them communicate and facilitate education outside the college campus.”
Harshitha of III PCM, President of Kannada Sangha said, “Our main objective is to teach the students who wish to learn Kannada. The website will display four words each day and explain the meaning and pronunciation in Kannada and English.”
The team that worked to see to the launch of the website comprised of a few Kannada students from the association with the help of the Kannada department. The team was led by Vibin Varghese, III MCZ, and Aniruddha of III MCZ. The website can be accessed at www.kannadainfomedia.com
