AKKA is a nonprofit devoted to the promotion and preservation of the Kannada language and culture among overseas Indians in the USA and Canada. AKKA helps to coordinate the work of several local Kannada Associations, bringing together Karnataka natives and their families for social and networking events locally and at national conferences. The MurthyNAYAK Foundation is proud to support this cultural home-away-from-home for Kannada-speaking members of the overseas Indian community.
