In a resounding acknowledgment of grassroots cultural activism, the Karnataka Tulu Sahitya Academy has conferred its coveted Special Organizational Award upon the Jai Tulu Nad (Regd.) organization. The state-level honor serves as a momentous tribute to the collective's tireless crusade for the preservation, propagation, and overall enrichment of the Tulu language, script, and heritage.
A Milestone Recognition for Cultural Stewardship:

By bestowing this distinction upon Jai Tulu Nad, the Academy has spotlighted the organization’s relentless framework of service and community-driven advocacy.
Pillars of Impact- Core Fields of Activity:
Over the years, Jai Tulu Nad has carved a distinct niche for itself through high-impact initiatives directed at cultural renaissance and linguistic rights:
Script Propagation: Spearheading the popular "Bale Tulu Lipi Kalpuga" grassroots campaign, the organization has played a pivotal role in teaching and reviving the traditional Tulu script among children and youth.
Constitutional Recognition Advocacy: The group continues to lead the vanguard in championing the ongoing, widespread socio-political movement to secure official inclusion for the Tulu language under the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution.
Youth Cultural Awakening: Through workshops, linguistic campaigns, and community events, the organization consistently bridges generational gaps, fostering a deep-rooted sense of identity and pride among the younger populace.
"This state honor is not merely a recognition of our past milestones, but a renewed mandate to accelerate our mission for Tulu language rights, script education, and cultural preservation."
