“Books of a writer should be reviewed timely and development of the author must be recorded,” said former president of Karnataka Tulu Sahitya Academy Dr Vamana Nandavar, delivering the presidential address at the function organised to commemorate the literary values of Kittoor Rani Chennamma Award winning Tulu writer Jayanthi S Bangera in Moodbidre on Monday.
The biography of Bangera, ‘Sahitya Siri’ written and published by journalist Shekara Ajekar, was released by Dr Mohan Alva by handing over the first copy to industrialist Shreepathy Bhat.
She was honoured with the title Sahitya Siri.
