HARI KISHORE I A S

Few months back I had gone to Payyanur to attend a wedding in my Brother-in-law's family.Payyanur is some thirty kilometers from Cannanore known as Kannur in the vernacular.I met Hari Kishore who is an IAS officer at the wedding.Later I came to know from some sources he was the previous director of Tourism and presently with Kudumbashree project. He is from the family circles of my Brother-in-Law A K Santosh. It was nice chatting with him.

I came to know from him that he studied Mechanical Engineering from Kannur Engineering College and later did his Masters in Metallurgy from an IIT. As an Engineering graduate he would bring problem solving skills as a bureaucrat.

In the above photograph Hari Kishore can be seen standing at extreme left. I think I can recognise the lady officer standing in the middle as Mrs Vasuki Kuppu who is the collector at Trivandrum.Mr. Hari Kishore had earlier served as Collector at Pathanamthitta district. Mrs. Vasuki I think hails from Chennai and is a product of the Madras Medical College.

All these people are undoubtedly the modern face of Indian Bureaucracy which is getting like always highly academically groomed people with a positive outlook.It is nice to note that Mrs. Vasuki has mastered the Malayalam language and speaks it with lucidity. They defanitely have the inner resources and ability to put in hard work for the progress of this fast progressing country,

Lowry Memorial College and Group of Institutions is part of the worldwide network of Educational Institutions operated by the Seventh-day Adventist Church Organization.  The Organization runs more than 300 Schools and Colleges in India and around 10,000 schools and 150 Colleges and Universities all over the world.

The Organization also runs Hospitals, Old Age Homes, Orphanages and other Welfare centers around the globe and has been serving the society irrespective of caste, creed and religion.

Lowry Memorial College and Group of Institutions began as South India Training School at Coimbatore in the year 1915.  It was then established by Elder G.G. Lowry and his wife Bertha Lowry who were Missionaries from U.S.A. The School was moved to the present location of 50 acres of land in the year 1917. The Institution grew and became one of the premier Institutions in Southeast Asia.  During the course of time the South India Training School was renamed as Spicer Missionary College. In the year 1942, during World War II, the campus was taken over by the British Government for their military needs. The school was then relocated to Kollegal and Chennapatna where it remained until 1946. The college was relocated to Spicer Memorial College in Pune, which is now known as Spicer Adventist University. In the year 1946, the British Government handed over the property back to the School Management. The School was moved for the last time to its present location and it was renamed as Lowry Memorial High School in honor of the founder late Elder G.G. Lowry.

In the years that followed, the Institution underwent a gradual metamorphosis to become one of the premier Christian Institutions in Bangalore. Great personalities like Mahatma Gandhi, Sir. M. Visvesvaraya, Maharaja Jayachamarajendra Wadiyar, Prof. Udupi Ramachandra Rao and many more have visited this Institution and commended it for its philanthropic and social service.
