When K. Narayana Naik retired in 2001, he did not choose to spend a quiet life at home with his grandchildren. Instead, he decided to help students pursue higher education, by providing them access to scholarships.
The man from Karpe village in Bantwal taluk of Dakshina Kannada, after teaching in more than a dozen government schools/high schools during his four-decade-old career, has been visiting government schools and colleges everyday, and providing information on scholarships to pre-matric and post-matric education.
