==Advocacy and opinion==
At the recent conference in Edison, the [[Puttige Matha Guru Parampara|Putthige matha seer]] Sugunendrateertha Swamiji has praised AKKA for its efforts in maintaining the [[Kannada]] language in the American continent.<ref>{{cite web|title=Take Pride to be Kannadiga, Says Puttige Seer at AKKA Convention|url=http://www.daijiworld.com/news/news_disp.asp?n_id=84981&n_tit=Take+Pride+to+be+Kannadiga%2C+Says+Puttige+Seer+at+AKKA+Convention|publisher=Daiji world|accessdate=20 September 2011}}</ref> However, at the same conference, some Kannada artistes and litterateurs were unhappy with basic facilities provided. and criticized the organizers.<ref>{{cite news|title=Akka leaves delegates disappointed|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/content/94588/akka-leaves-delegates-disappointed.html|accessdate=20 September 2011|newspaper=Deccan Herald|date=6 September 2010}}</ref> Following this reaction, the [[Government of Karnataka]], which financially aids AKKA contemplated withdrawing aid.<ref>{{cite news|title=Government may stop funding AKKA |url=http://174.133.94.26/content/100768/government-may-stop-funding-akka.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120708102013/http://174.133.94.26/content/100768/government-may-stop-funding-akka.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=8 July 2012 |accessdate=20 September 2011 |newspaper=Deccan Herald |date=29 September 2010 }}</ref>
