    I always admired the attitude of Dharmadhikari Dr.Veerendra Heggade towards mankind. Gentle, smiling and benevolent for any good cause Dr.Heggade`s contribution to rural development and quality education is tremendous. He certainly deserves the award Karnataka Ratna, and who knows it will be followed by Bharat Ratna.
