Pranati was sparked off to patronize and promote talent at home. As the
works on it began, the team of like minded people formed, the family of
Pranati was built, details were worked on, the cause of Pranati grew
bigger. Today, Pranati's objectives include contributing to Kannada
literature and Carnatic music but not limited to it. It plans on a host
of activities to spread its message; concern to the culture and
environment, in its own ways. Pranati was lighted on Feb 10, 2008
and was blessed by loved ones. You can read more about the launch
here.
The first book from Pranati – "Chitrachaapa" spreads the
awareness about our environment in its own unique style. It is also a
first of its kind in the kannada literature field as it combines short
essays, poems and travelogues written by five young writers,
complimented by sketches. The book was released by Prof GV on the same
day as the launch of Pranati.

event was a huge success, participation from most of kannada internet
