This is the famous Mysore University encyclopedia. 13 volumes have come out
so far. Its work started long ago, may be about 15 years ago. 13th volume
came out about 2 years ago. 14th volume is expected. Since the release of
volumes took so much time gap, there are every few people who have all the
volumes. I have read some portions of it. Especially, the section on
computer. Very well written. G T Naraya Rao is a good Kannada scince writer.
His specialty is astronomy.
Recently Mysore University, in collaboration with a private company and
Kannada Ganaka Parishat are bringing out the encyclopedia in CDs. But the
sad part is that they are not using Unicode and hence the CDs are already
obsolete.

There is one more interesting article regarding a very complete
encyclopedia in Kannada, one of the first among vernacular languages.
Here is the link to the article :

Does anyone know which encyclopedia does this article refer to?
