Vijnana Karnataka

This is the second magazine published by Prasaranga. The editorial board decided to bring a science magazine into existence at least during the golden festival of Prabuddha Karnataka, and it was decided that it should be on the model of 'Scientific American'. As a result of the wish of Lord Javare Gowda, Vigyana Karnataka was born to commemorate the golden festival of enlightened Karnataka. It was born in 1969. It started as a newspaper in November 1970. BS Bolegowda and JR Laxmanrao worked as the editors of its first issue.

De. Javare Gowda says that Vijnana Karnataka is the daughter of enlightened Karnataka. The gentlemen who worked for this are the proud literature of Kannada. Its interest and expressions led to new thinking. In line with this speech, the words spoken by De.Javaregowda about J.R.Laxman Raya are commendable here. His feat of compiling 1562 pages of 57 articles into a science issue is commendable. The story of the last twenty-five years of scientific progress is the subject of these articles. It can be said that no Indian language has ever produced such a comprehensive book. In this field it is like reaching “Gourishankara”, it is like an adventure of Tensing! This is a powerful challenge to Kannada media opponents! He said that this is a blow to the skeptics who say that Kannada is not a scientific language. It can be understood here that these episodes, which came up when Kannada media had no value in Kannada land, silenced those who seemed ignorant of foreign language and Kannada literature.

They also warned that there are people who write without complaint in Kannada media and language. Thus many facts of science became known to Kannadigas.
