MAIPA organises 120th birth anniversary of the former Lok Sabha Speaker
TIRUPATI: Glowing tributes were paid to the qualities of the head and heart of M. Ananthasayanam Ayyengar, a great son of the soil and former Lok Sabha Speaker and the Bihar Governor on the eve of his 120th birth anniversary celebrated at Tirupati on Friday under the aegis of the “Madabhushi Ananthasayanam Institute of Public Administration” (MAIPA).
Interesting rulings
Presiding over the function the founder-head of MAIPA and former AP Assembly Speaker, Dr. A. Eswara Reddy recalled the interesting rulings which the late Ayyengar had given during his stint as the Lok Sabha's second speaker. He said that the former Speaker commanded equal respect from the stalwarts of the house both on the treasury and the opposition benches.
Simple person
He described him as a simple and unassuming person with a sense of ready wit and humour and said that as a befitting tribute to the great nationalist cum educationalist, the MAIPA in league with the elite of Tirupati would take up with the central government to get his postal stamp released.
Contribution
He said another tribute to his memory would be to get either the entire Rashtriya Sanskrit Vidya Peetha, Tirupati or a block of it, named after late Ananthasayanam Ayyengar, in recognition of his contributions to the institution in the early stages of its formation.
Kamalanathan, former professor and HoD of SVU's Department of Political Science and Public Administration, K. Satagopan, Deputy Commissioner, Navodaya Vidyalaya Samithi, Hyderabad and his wife, N. Sobhana who is a great grand-daughter of late Ayyengar were among the other participants.

Sri Ananthasayanam's 120th Birth Anniversary Today...!
The fourth of February is the birthday of Sri Madabhushi Ananthasayanam Ayyangar, the Pride of Tirupati. This is his 120th Birth Anniversary. Ayyangar's contributions to Tirupati are very significant. It is none other than Ayyangar, who fought against Mahants and made Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams free from their clouts during British rule. Ayyangar was responsible for the establishment and development of Sanskrit vidyaapeth in Tirupati, which is enjoying University status today. He did the best for the welfare and well being of the people with leprosy.
He is very honest through out his life and used to depend on cycle rikshaw even after enjoying the highest positions in the government like Speaker of Loksabha and Governor of Bihar. He lead very very simple life and proved himself the True Leader of this country.
Madabhushi Ananthasayanam Institute of Public Affairs (MAIPA)is celebrating his birth anniversary today.

TIRUPATI: A. Gnanam, former Chairman of National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC), a wing of the University Grants Commission (UGC), opined that public affairs has become a line of work fraught with undesirable and uninspiring elements, with the best of brains tending to look away.
Speaking at the 77th birthday celebrations of Dr. Agarala Eswara Reddi, former Speaker of Andhra Pradesh Legislative Assembly, here on Tuesday, he said people like him should focus more on public issues with due analysis and study.
“Given his expertise, Dr. Reddi should focus on issues spanning public affairs, academic, constitution, judiciary and so on,” Prof. Gnanam commented, recalling the leader's non-controversial approach and industrious efforts towards rapprochement when he was at the helm of affairs.
His books on higher education and politics are highly appreciated by readers of Tamil Nadu also, he noted.
