As the world celebrated Teachers Day, we remember few teachers from Kodagu, who are still fondly remembered in Kodagu.

The most prominent amongst them was Devanira K. Appayya, by the age of 20, in 1929, Devanira Appayya or Appayya Master, as he was lovingly called, put himself through various schools in Kodagu and then went on to graduate from the prestigious Madras Presidency College, an almost unheard of feat at that time. He held the Head Master’s job at Ammathi Middle School for over 22 years.
