Pointing out that it was Nalwadi who built the University of Mysore, which is one among the first Universities in the country, the press release stated that naming the UUniversity afterNalwadi would be a tribute to the erstwhile Mysuru Maharaja, who made immense contribution to the State, especially for Mysuru.
