Speaking on the occasion, the President recalled that University of Mysore was founded in 1916 under the patronage of 'Rajrishi' Nalwadi Krishnaraja Wadiyar with the able assistance of Diwan Sir M. Visvesvaraya.

"It's destiny has been shaped by stalwarts like the first Vice Chancellor Shri H.V. Nanjundayya, Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, Dr. Brajendranath Seal, Dr. C.R. Reddy, Prof Thomas Denham, Prof A.R. Wadia, Prof M. Hiriyanna, Dr. K.V. Puttappa (Kuvempu) and Dr. D. Javare Gowda.
