“For three years he answered queries of children on science topics through the magazine, which saw him transform into Karanathajja,” Ms. Pai said and added that his articles went beyond the curriculum framework to espouse the essence of life to children and youth. “The long association the magazine had with Karanthajja makes this award special to me,” she said.
