Sir,

The English-Kannada Dictionary of Prasaranga, University of Mysore, has long been an invaluable resource for scholars and researchers, offering seamless access to its comprehensive content through an online platform with a user-friendly search feature.

However, it has been nearly six months since the dictionary disappeared from the website. Repeated inquiries to Prasaranga have yielded no progress.

Phone calls to their landline remain unanswered, e-mails have bounced and on one rare occasion, a staff member mentioned that the issue was tied to contract renewal.

May I urge the University authorities to address this matter promptly and ensure the dictionary’s availability before the end of November, especially during the Kannada Rajyotsava celebrations?  This resource is vital to the academic community and its reinstatement would be greatly appreciated.
