520			_aChristopher Thomas Kurien (1931–2024), or CTK, as most of us called him, is no longer with us. His long and highly purposeful and rich life should serve as a model for all and particularly for academics. CTK was pro¬minent in at least four different but related roles—as a teacher, researcher, institution-builder, and public intellectual. And he left a visible and enduring impact on all of them. His early education was in Bengaluru, where he completed his intermediate (today’s plus two) from St Joseph’s College when it was still affiliated to the Madras University. In fact, his was the last batch to complete the course under the aegis of Madras University. He then went to the Madras Christian College (MCC) where he read economics and as one would expect, he graduated with distinction. As was apparently the custom in MCC, CTK was taken to the faculty of the college and in this capacity, he served until moving to the Madras Institute of Development Studies (MIDS), which Malcolm Adiseshiah founded in the 1970s.- Reproduced https://www.epw.in/journal/2024/31/commentary/c-t-kurien-1931-2024.html
