CNC welcomes Kodava genealogy study

The Codava National Council (CNC) has welcomed the state government’s move to restart the study on Kodava genealogy.

Speaking to reporters on Sunday, CNC President N U Nachappa said, “The study on genealogy is essential to preserve Kodava community. The study was halted in the past and has now been revived.”

The CNC had been demanding Kodava genealogy study for the last several years.

“The study should be completed at the earliest. In the past, the state government had entrusted the responsibility of the study to Karnataka State Tribal Research Institute, Mysuru, and the government had released Rs 11 lakh for the purpose. However, owing to the conspiracy of a few, the study was stopped abruptly. Now, the study on genealogy has been revived once again,” added Nachappa.
