Department of Kannada

It was in June 1958, when St.Philomena College, Puttur started functioning the Kannada Dept. was interlinked along with it. When we glance the history of the department, the ancestors who toiled for the birth and growth of the department should not go unnoticed. Prof.M.Venkatramana Bhat (Popularly known as M.V. Bhat and V.B.Moleyar) was the founder member of the department. Later he became the first head of the department till his retirement (1994) he successfully worked for the progress of the department in particular and of the College in general. Before coming to Puttur, he served in Christen College Madras. It was through Prof. M.V. Bhat’s effort that our college could get volumes of old Kannada Literature from Christian College Madras. He was instrumental in starting the Kannada Sangha in our college in the year 1975. Though many staff members entered the department, they left for different reasons at times. The names of those who served in the department till their retirement is worth mentioning Prof.P.M.V. Bhat rendered long valuable service (1967 – 1996).

Prof.A.Harinarayana Bhat ably assisted his colleagues and rendered his service in the department from 1976 to 2007.It is proper to mention the services of Mr.Chethan Kumar T.(1999 – 2008), Mr. Sheenappa Naika K (2008 – 2009), Ms. Sandhya Kumari (2009 – 2012), Smt.Baby.A.(2012 – 13),  and Smt.Harinakshi M.D(2013 – 2016)who served in the Dept. of Kannada for a short duration.
