Addressing the audience, retired principal Varadaraj Chandragiri offered a vivid portrait of revolutionary writer Kulakunda Shivaraya (Niranjan), highlighting his challenging childhood, unyielding spirit in overcoming adversity, and the inspiration behind his renowned novel Chirasmarane. The lecture traced Niranjan’s deep association with the college and his enduring impact on progressive Kannada literature, despite personal hardships and physical challenges.
