Sri K N Guruswamy
The illustrious founder of the Deccan Herald-Prajavani group of publications, Sri K N Guruswamy was a visionary endowed with a rare generosity of spirit.
Apart from founding Karnataka's very own newspapers - Deccan Herald and Prajavani at a time when free India was looking to voice the dreams and aspirations of a fledging nation, he also founded the Ashram School as education was a subject very dear to his heart. The Ashram School, which had modest beginnings, has now grown into a respected institution which offers quality education to children from economically challenged backgrounds and provides them with sound vocational training along with life skills.
A philanthropist and a visionary, Sri K N Guruswamy strongly believed in the saying, "A woman educated is a family educated" and stressed the importance of educating the girl child. The Deccan International School, started by his grandson Sri K N Tilak Kumar, bears testimony to Sri K N Guruswamy's commitment to the cause of education.
