Mahayogi Vemana Peetha

Mahayogi Vemana Peetha has been instituted at the Karnatak Univesity, Dharwad to honour Mahayogi Vemana, a saint, mystic popular poet and social reformer of Andhra Pradesh.

The process started with the donation of Rs. 1,00,000/- by Shri H. K. Patil, Treasurer, Vemana Vidyavardhaka Sangha, Hubli-Dharwad on 19.01.1983. The Sangha once again donated Rs. 1,00,000/- ON 19.01.1984. The Government of Andhra Pradesh donated Rs. 1,97,000/- through the International Telugu Institute on 10.10.1984. As the total corpus fund required at that time was only Rs. 3,00,000/-. Finally the proposal of instituting the Vemana Chair (Mahayogi Vemana Peetha) was accepted by the Syndicate of K.U.Dharwad under Resolution No. 32 dated 19.10.1985.

Late Shri S.R.Patil, Retired Engineer and a Vemana Scholar functioned as Chief Coordinator of Vemana Chair for some years. For the last twenty years seven scholars have been looking after the activities of Mahayogi Vemana Peetha as Coordinator.
