Mysore/Mysuru: Aug. 9 was the day when erstwhile ruler of Mysore State Sri Jayachamaraja (JC) Wadiyar handed over the affairs of the then Mysore State to Indian Union just days before India became independent. Marking the day, a programme was held at Nypunya School of Excellence in Kanakadasanagar here yesterday.
School Chairman R. Raghu Kautilya, who inaugurated the event by garlanding the portrait of the Wadiyar, spoke about the contributions of Mysore rulers towards implementing the concept of ‘Ramarajya’ as envisaged by Mahatma Gandhi. Raghu Kautilya specifically hailed the contributions of Sri Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar in this regard.
