About KannadigaruUK
In the year
2004, few families in Reading
decided to celebrate Rajyotsava. The
single motive then was to get all
the Kannadigas we knew under one
roof and enjoy the occasion. We have
been celebrating Kannada Rajyotsava
and Yugadi festivals since then. It
started growing bigger, better and
stronger. In the year 2006, we
started the group in Yahoo Groups
Kannadigaru UK. Many people signed
up for this and it still continues
to grow. From 2006 this group has
been the official communication
channel to update about events to
most of the Kannadigas in UK.
Our Partnerships
We would like to be a complimentary
organisation to other Kannada Groups
in UK like Kannada Balaga UK (KB UK)
who are here as a registered
charity. We will also work with
other Indian Cultural organizations
like Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan,
Kalapremi, and Arts Council UK etc
who encourage our noble cause. With
this strong partnership, we will
forge ahead to achieve our vision.
The Organization will not be
motivated by profit or commercial
gain. The main objective is to
promote Kannadatana in UK kannadigas.
And we welcome everyone humbly with
open arms, who wish to contribute to
this cause in any capacity.
In short and long term, Kannadigaru
UK will closely work with the
cultural organizations in UK and
India enabling us in bringing
talents to the UK to entertain our
people. In the mean time we will
groom our children and adults to
learn and appreciate our culture and
heritage. We feel that in spite of
our contribution to local governance
and local businesses Kannada
Community in the UK has not earned
the distinctive recognition like
other Indian communities. We would
like to reach that stage where local
people & establishments recognise us
as a force. We plan to achieve this
by working with local establishments
and serving local communities by
organising Social Exchange
Programmes, Blood Donation Camps,
Volunteering and Charity Activities.
This will bring goodwill and pride
to our community.
We will encourage all Indian and non
Indians alike to appreciate our
culture by educating them about us
through variety of programmes.
