President’s Message
Kodava Samaja Bengaluru is the Aiynemane of Kodavas in this city. Today it has a Royal standing, one that beckons Kodavas the world over.
We intend to build on it, not rest on it. We are working to widen what the Samaja offers: stronger welfare, better facilities, far more for our children and our young people, and more reasons for every Kodava family in Bengaluru to feel that this place is theirs.
How far we go depends on how many of you walk with us. Come to the events. Take up a role on a committee. Bring a family that has not yet found its way here. A Samaja is only as strong as the people willing to carry it forward.
The doors at Vasanthnagar are open. Come and see us. There is a place here for you, and for your family.
