Hasn't kept count of the exhibitions and awards: Prof Babu Jattakar, unlike a majority of fellow artists in the field, is very humble, kind and helpful out of the way. Perhaps, it would be a wonder if someone who has come in his contact, and yet not benefited in one or the other way. The kind of help or support he keeps extending to known people may turn out to be too big a subject for a book! He offers all possible support to organise exhibitions, workshops and events. But, in the bargain, he himself has no idea of the exact number of exhibitions, ...

The written form is only a symbolic representation of a language. However, in our society, far greater importance is given to the written language than to the spoken language. This is true not only in Kannada but in almost all Indian languages. Spoken language receives very little attention: Initially, Devendra Beliyur thought this was a problem unique to Kannada. But when he discussed it with scholars of other languages, he realised that spoken language receives very little attention in their languages as well. Four fundamental capabilities must be developed:  Devendra Beliyur emphasises that, in the field of education, when we ask what should be taught in ...
