Mysuru: Prof. CDN Memorial Day was observed at Dhvanyaloka here on Apr.12. Prof C.N. Srinath, Director, Dhvanyaloka, in his welcome address observed how CDN (Prof. C. D. Narasimhaiah, founder of Dhvanyaloka) was a very distinguished teacher, scholar and an influential critic with a reputation for organisational abilities as well.
CDN’s pioneering efforts in introducing American Literature as well as Commonwealth Literature besides Indian Writing in English in our University curriculum were evident in the way he had conducted hundreds of seminars and workshops, something unheard of before, he said and also fondly recalled CDN’s wish to be “a teacher in life after life.”
