Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister D K Shivakumar on Friday urged the state’s Higher Education Minister, M C Sudhakar, to take necessary steps toward establishing a research centre at Bangalore University to honor former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
The proposed centre would focus on studying, researching, and documenting Singh’s contributions, including his programmes and policies.
Manmohan Singh, celebrated as the architect of India’s economic reforms, passed away in New Delhi on Thursday night at the age of 92.
“Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh was one of the world’s greatest economists. The globalisation, liberalisation, economic policies, and governance discipline introduced during his tenure made India economically strong,” Shivakumar stated in a note addressed to Sudhakar and the Vice-Chancellor of Bangalore University.
