Inaugurating the programme, former Vice-Chancellor Dr. K. Chidananda Gowda opined that the assistance of the Government is needed to come out with a comprehensive volume featuring all the literary works of Dr. CPK. He lauded the senior writer who has contributed immensely with quality literature. Speaking on the occasion, Dr. CPK recalled that final copy of the book is different from the draft copy, which literally amounted to two books and involved a lot of time. He expressed gratitude to late Dr. Dejagow couple for nurturing him when he first came to Mysuru.
