In his tenure as the chairperson of the Kannada Development Authority (KDA), Chandru advocated very strongly for the protection and promotion of the Kannada-language. The beginning of his tenure saw a significant development in that, on 31 October 2008, Kannada was given the status of a [[Languages of India#Classical|classical language]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Memorandum|url=http://www.kannada-praadhikaara.gov.in/MPs_manavi_final_22-7-2011.pdf|website=Kannada Development Authority|access-date=14 March 2017|page=5|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160910094652/http://kannada-praadhikaara.gov.in/MPs_manavi_final_22-7-2011.pdf|archive-date=10 September 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> Recommendations made by him in view of promoting the language in Karnataka were met with both praise and criticism. In December, he called for a compulsory display of [[Vehicle registration plates of India|vehicle registration plates]] of all vehicles of the State government in Kannada starting January 2009.<ref>{{cite web|title=Kannada number plates from Jan 1|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/Kannada-number-plates-from-Jan-1/articleshow/3859065.cms|work=The Times of India|access-date=14 March 2017|date=19 December 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170518202421/http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/Kannada-number-plates-from-Jan-1/articleshow/3859065.cms|archive-date=18 May 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2011, under Chandru's chairpersonship, the KDA recommended to the Karnataka government to make it mandatory for immigrants in the State to clear the Class VII-level tests of the language. Chandru felt that if "outsiders ... live off the resources here, they should also learn to understand the culture, history and language of the land". Other recommendations included the use of Kannada software in cellphones, and to take over all ancient [[palm-leaf manuscripts]] in private possession and declare them state property.<ref>{{cite web|last1=Ravindran|first1=Nirmala|title=Tongue Twister|url=http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/karnataka-government-makes-it-mandatory-for-immigrants-to-learn-kannada/1/141081.html|website=India Today|access-date=14 March 2017|date=11 June 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170315085743/http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/karnataka-government-makes-it-mandatory-for-immigrants-to-learn-kannada/1/141081.html|archive-date=15 March 2017|url-status=live}}</ref> Chandru was instrumental in the [[Kempegowda International Airport]] authorities agreeing to display signboards and nameplates in Kannada, in 2012.<ref>{{cite web|title=Bangalore airport to have signboards, announcements in Kannada|url=http://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/bangalore-airport-to-have-signboards-announcements-in-kannada-112090700378_1.html|work=Business Standard|access-date=14 March 2017|date=7 September 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170315085729/http://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/bangalore-airport-to-have-signboards-announcements-in-kannada-112090700378_1.html|archive-date=15 March 2017|url-status=live}}</ref>
