UDUPI:

T Mohandas M Pai, founder of popular Kannada daily ‘Udayavani’, died at a hospital near here following prolonged illness, according to hospital sources. He was 89.

Pai passed away on Sunday, the sources said.

He was the eldest son of Dr T M A Pai, the founder of the Manipal group of institutions. He was also the president of the Dr T M A Pai Foundation and Manipal Media Network, which runs ‘Udayavani’.

Pai was a law graduate and is regarded as the architect of modern Manipal. He also headed ICDS Limited.

A lover of art and culture, he set up Rashtrakavi Govindapai Research Centre, Regional Resources Centre for Folk Performing Arts and MGM Yakshagana Kendra.

Pai’s mortal remains will be kept for public viewing at MGM College’s Ravindra Mantapa from 9 am to 11 am on Monday.

He is survived by four brothers and sisters.

Taking to Twitter, Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai expressed grief over Pai’s death and described him as a ”guiding figure”.

ಹಿರಿಯ ಉದ್ಯಮಿ, ಉದಯವಾಣಿ ದಿನಪತ್ರಿಕೆಯ ಸಂಸ್ಥಾಪಕರು ಆದ ಶ್ರೀ ಟಿ. ಮೋಹನದಾಸ್ ಪೈ ಅವರು ನಿಧನರಾದ ವಿಷಯ ನನಗೆ ಆಘಾತವನ್ನುಂಟು ಮಾಡಿದೆ.
ಹಿರಿಯ ಚೇತನರು, ಎಲ್ಲರ ಮಾರ್ಗದರ್ಶಕರಂತಿದ್ದ ಅವರ ಆತ್ಮಕ್ಕೆ ಭಗವಂತನು ಚಿರಶಾಂತಿ ನೀಡಲಿ ಹಾಗೂ ಈ ಅಗಲಿಕೆಯ ನೋವನ್ನು ಭರಿಸುವ ಶಕ್ತಿ ಅವರ ಕುಟುಂಬ ವರ್ಗಕ್ಕೆ ದಯಪಾಲಿಸಲಿ ಎಂದು ಪ್ರಾರ್ಥಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ. pic.twitter.com/3snkWNisoS
