Belthangady, Dec 3: Only human being has the power to create as well as enjoy literature. Man should make best use of this great privilege he enjoys, said veteran scholar Dr K Chidananda Gowda.

He was speaking after inaugurating the 81st Sahitya Sammelan held at Amrithavarshini Auditorium on December 2, Monday in connection with the Lakshadeepotsava of Sri Kshetra Dharmasthala.

He further said that man should nurture good values and try to uphold humanitarian values. Stressing the need to promote and patronize Kannada language and literature, Dr Gowda at the same time regretted the fact that Kannadigas have closed their eyes to the greatness of their own language.
