Mangalore, May 31: “During my tenure of 1 year and 4 months as the president of Karnataka Tulu Sahitya Academy, I have worked as an individual for the benefit of the academy without any political influence,” said Umanath Kotian, former president of the academy.

He was addressing the media persons during a press meet held at press club on Friday May 31.

“It is wrong if I continue as the president when I am stepping into politics, which is the reason for resigning from the post before filing nomination for MLA candidate post from Mulky-Moodbidri constituency,” said Kotian.

Briefing about the Tulu academy activities during his tenure, Umanath Kotian said, 13 Chavadi programmes, eight Kummata programmes, three programmes in other districts, five programmes in other states, 14 books were released and the academy organized 159 programmes in collaboration with other associations.

    Sir,
    Your stepping down from the presidentship of the Karnataka Tulu Sahitya Academy was only a part of your progresive step towards political venture. The out come was unexpected. Still the amount of popularity you commanded during your brief tenure as head of the Academy was commendable, especailly the quality of your presentation with transperancy. I wish you would continue the same quality of your access to the Thulubhaandavaas so that one day it will again reap the positive results. I am not a politician nor know much about politics inspite of knowing and being known to some of the political leaders very closely in Thulunaadu. BUT ONE THING IS CERTAIN THAT EVRY SUCH FAILURE WILL BE A STEPPING STONE TO SUCCESS. Hence exploit the experience for the best of the political agenda and a day will come that people will see in you what they need from you.
    Personally, I recollect the day you came to Mumbai to release on 28.1.2012 my FIRST book about THULU LIPI which happend to be the First of that kind and it was my destiny that such a book was coincidentally released in your hand as the President of the Thulu Karnataka Sahitya Academy. I also recollect the cordial response given to us by you in your office whenever I visited your office in connection with my work related to Thulu Lipi. The much awaited Thulu Bhavana as a project under your presidentship should be completed as need of the hour. I sincerly wish that your spirit , strength and strong will power would enable the Thulubhaandavaas to realise their dream of having one such Bhavana in Mangalore.
    On the eve of releasing my 2nd book in Mumbai on 15.6.2013 about Thulu Lipi, I do remember your best wishes bestowed on me on 28.1.2012 while releasing my first book about Thulu Lipi.
    I will keep you informed about our work related to the development of Thulu Lipi which appears to be the need of the hour
