"As a result of the continues efforts by Karnataka Tulu Sahitya Academy, the Mangalore University has received green signal from the Chancellor (Governor of Karnataka) to introduce Certificate, Diploma and Post Graduate Diploma courses in Tulu under Correspondence Programme in the academic year 2012-13.
To popularise Tulu language, the Government of Karnataka has agreed to introduce Tulu as the third language for the students of sixth standard to tenth standard from the Academic year 2010- 11 in Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts. Now the introduction of Tulu correspondence courses in University will be a giant step in the process...
...Medium of instructionAbout the medium of instruction, Karnataka Tulu Sahitya Academy Registrar Chandrahas Rai said that, it is hardly possible to use Tulu script for instruction as very few people know to write and read Tulu script. “The medium of instruction and examination will be in Tulu or Kannada,” he said. The introduction of new courses will not only help develop the language, but also and to conduct more researches on the language."
