Bengaluru: As part of an effort to teach the Kannada language to non-native speakers, the Bengaluru Police has distributed cards containing some basic sentences in Kannada and English to auto drivers.
Sentences designed to facilitate communication between drivers and passengers are printed in Kannada and English languages on laminated cards. This is an attempt to teach some basic Kannada words to non-native speakers through a unique concept called 'Learn Kannada with Auto Kannadiga'. Police have printed some basic words in both English and Kannada and auto drivers have pasted them in their auto.
"Each card also has a QR code, and if scanned, a video on the use of Kannada will be played. It is a small effort to teach Kannada to non-native speakers during Kannada Rajyotsava, and this campaign will continue from this month," Bengaluru City Police Commissioner B. Dayanand said.
