North America Vishwa Kannada Association (Kannada: ನಾರ್ತ್ ಅಮೆರಿಕ ವಿಶ್ವ ಕನ್ನಡ ಅಗರ, commonly referred to as NAVIKA) is an association of Kannadigas located in North America. It is a not for profit organization registered in Florida.[1] In March 2009, on the day of Ugadi (Kannada New Year), NAVIKA was formed as some members of the Association of Kannada Kootas of America (AKKA) broke ties with AKKA due to differences of opinion.[2]
