Madikeri, July 7: A human chain awareness program was held in Napoklu by the Kodava National Council organization, demanding that a separate code and column be included for the primitive mono-ethnic (animistic) Kodavas while collecting caste-wise information in the 2026 national census, including Kodavaland's geopolitical autonomy, self-governance, and the right to internal self-determination, and that Kodavas be given special political representation in the Parliament and the Legislative Assembly. The registration of Kodava people through a separate column and code during the 2025-26 national census, the 2026 constituency re-delimitation, including the geo-political autonomy of Kodava land and the ST list, will be the foundation for all-round constitutional empowerment and special status, and the caste census will make the historical continuity of the indigenous Kodava people in Kodava land permanent. Nachappa called on the Kodava people to be careful not to go astray.
At 10.30 am, a human chain was formed in Napoklu and various constitutional rights were presented. The CNC is slowly moving towards its goal without stopping anywhere. N.U. Nachappa appealed to support the peaceful and long-term constitutional rights movement of the CNC.
