Karnataka Vidyavardhaka Sangha
- Karnataka Vidyavardhaka Sangha
The Karnataka Vidyavardhaka Sangha (Kannada: ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ವಿದ್ಯಾವರ್ಧಕ ಸಂಘ) was an institution established on 20 July 1890 by Sri R H Deshpande in Dharwad which was then under the rule of Bombay Presidency. This institution was established with the sole objective of promoting Kannada culture and language in times when Marathi reigned supreme in Dharwad. Soon this institution morphed into a hub for the "Karnataka Ekikarana" movement. It inspired the establishment of several institutions and organisations across the state. It was one of the most important institution that played a pivotal role in the unification of Karnataka. For its invaluable services and contributions to Kannada and Karnataka, this institution was awarded the "Ekikarana Award" by the Government of Karnataka on the occasion of the 50th year celebrations of Karnataka state.
