Learning the Kannada words for people (ಜನರು) and occupations introduces children to the community around them through the lens of Kannada. From ಅಧ್ಯಾಪಕ (teacher) to ರೈತ (farmer), these words help children describe, understand and appreciate the people who make up Karnataka society.
These are the key people and occupation words in Kannada covered in the app:
Karnataka has a rich tradition of honoring different roles in society — from the ರೈತ (farmer) who grows the ragi and jowar, to the ವೈದ್ಯ (doctor) in every village primary health centre. When children know these Kannada words, they can describe the community helpers they see in their daily lives, understand Karnataka's diverse workforce and appreciate the people their grandparents talk about from village and city life.
The app covers the people and occupations children see in their community — teachers, doctors, farmers, police and more — all with Kannada names and native audio.
Children hear each people word pronounced naturally in Kannada — so they can name the community members they see every day and discuss them with grandparents in Kannada.
Knowing these Kannada people words connects children to the social fabric of Karnataka — from the farmers who supply the state's markets to the teachers in its schools.
