BANGALORE, JAN. 31. The Legislative Council on Monday urged the Government to set up a study-cum-research centre in memory of the former member of the House, H. Narasimhaiah, who died here today. Paying rich tributes, many members of the House remembered the austere life Dr. Narasimhaiah led keeping with Gandhian ideals and also his contribution to the field of education in the State. The acting Chairman of the House, V.R. Sudrashan, said as a student of the renowned National College he too had the privilege to get inspired by the thoughts of Dr. Narasimhaiah. He would join the House in urging the Government to set up the study-cum-research centre in memory of his memory, he added.
Simple living
The Leader of the House, M. Mallikarjun Kharge, said though Narasimhaiah had lived in a small room all his life he did not lead a secluded life. He was known for his simple living and high thinking, he said. His efforts in convincing people to adopt a rationalistic approach and his commitment to the cause of education should be recorded for posterity in a befitting manner. The Leader of the Opposition in the House, D.H. Shankara Murthy, said the State had lost another profound mind in the death of Dr. Narasimhaiah. The Government should include a lesson on the life and achievements of Dr. Narasimhaiah in its social science textbook at the middle or high school level, he suggested.
Penchant for music
The former Minister, B.K. Chandrashekhar (Congress), recalled his association with the educationist and the latter's concern for policies on education and penchant for music. The Minister for Law and Parliamentary Affairs, H.K. Patil, said he was encouraged and guided by Dr. Narasimhaiah during his first term in the House. "Mukhyamantri" Chandru (BJP) and Umasri (nominated member-Congress) recalled Dr. Naiasimhaiah's concern for the poor and also his contributions to the theatre. M.R. Tanga (BJP) said he first met Dr. Narasimhaiah in 1962 in Canada. He was surprised to see a visiting professor attired in khadi there, he said and added that he had had the privilege to host a vegetarian meal to him. Balkrishna Bhat (BJP), Chandrashekhara Kambar (nominated member-Congress), Ramachandra Gowda (BJP), K.B. Munivenkata Reddy (Congress), Basavaraja Bommai (Janata Dal-United) and others spoke.
