While I appreciate the government's support for cultural icons, I wonder why similar medical assistance isn't available for all senior citizens who've contributed to society in various ways. The policy should be more inclusive.

Good initiative, but I hope the government ensures transparency in how these medical funds are utilized. We've seen cases where such announcements don't translate to actual benefits. Wishing Gowda sir good health regardless.

This is how we should honor our cultural ambassadors! Instead of waiting for their demise to give awards, supporting them when they need it most. Kudos to Minister Thangadgi for this thoughtful action 👏

My grandfather used to read Doddarange Gowda's poems to me as bedtime stories. His words are part of my childhood memories. So relieved to hear he's getting proper care. Hope he gets well soon!
