Event Description

The Indian that Personified the Idea of Public Service

Keshav Desiraju, who passed away last month at the relatively early age of sixty-six, was one of the most remarkable public servants in independent India. A person of rectitude and integrity, who never sought publicity, and who scrupulously kept his distance from ruling party politicians, he had a transformational impact on the health sector through the policies he initiated. He was also enormously admired in his adopted state, Uttarakhand, where he served with distinction both at the district and Secretariat levels. Outside of his professional work, he was a considerable scholar of Indian classical music, and the author of a landmark biography of M. S. Subbulakshmi.

On Saturday 9th October, the Bangalore International Centre will celebrate the life and legacy of Keshav Desiraju. An array of distinguished speakers who worked with him will speak of his multifarious and enduring contributions to the Republic.
