On August 20th, we honor the birth anniversary of D. Devaraj Urs, a pivotal figure in the history of Karnataka. Born on August 20, 1915, he served as the Chief Minister of Karnataka for two terms (1972-77 and 1978-80) and is remembered as one of the state's most impactful social reformers.
Devaraj Urs's most significant legacy is the revolutionary land reform he implemented, famously encapsulated in the slogan "Land to the tiller" (Uluvavane Bhoomi Odeya). This landmark legislation freed thousands of tenant farmers from the clutches of landlords and gave them ownership of the land they cultivated, fundamentally changing the social and economic landscape of Karnataka.
Beyond land reform, he was a champion of the oppressed and backward classes. He was instrumental in abolishing bonded labor and creating new opportunities for marginalized communities. His government was also responsible for renaming the state from Mysore to Karnataka in 1973, a move that solidified the state's cultural identity.
Devaraj Urs's tenure was characterized by his deep commitment to social justice and his tireless efforts to uplift the poor. His policies laid the groundwork for a more equitable society and his contributions continue to be celebrated for their enduring impact.
