India, Sept. 1 -- By R. Raja Chandra

It is heartening to know that the President of India, Droupadi Murmu, will be visiting Mysuru today to attend the Diamond Jubilee (60th anniversary) celebrations of All India Institute of Speech and Hearing (AIISH).

AIISH, located in the lush green campus adjacent to the University of Mysore in Manasagangothri, is a unique institute in the Asian sub-continent. It was established in 1966 as an autonomous institute fully funded by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India.

This was possible due to the personal initiative and large heartedness of the last Maharaja of Mysore, H.H. Sri. Jaya Chamaraja Wadiyar.
