Mysuru: The second Devaraj Urs Memorial Lecture was recently held at MYRA School of Business in Yelwal here under the aegis of Devaraj Urs Centre for Development Studies (DCDS). Dr. James Manor, Professor Emeritus, University of London, delivered the lecture.
Dr. James Manor knows more about Mysuru and Karnataka than most of the local residents. An erudite scholar who has published over ten books on development and governance, Dr. Manor has closely studied Mysore State in the pre-independence era and has also observed the progress of Karnataka in a democratic India.
