DR. SRIKANTA RAO ANCHALKAR
Dr. Srikanta Rao
Anchalkar is a professor of Psychology
and director of the Office of
Institutional Analysis, Assessment and
Evaluation at Tuskegee University,
Alabama. He joined Tuskegee University
in June, 1967 and since then has served
the University in various leadership
roles. His name is included in
"Personalities of the South” (American
Biographical Institute), "American Men
and Women of Science” (Social and
Behavioral Sciences), and in "Leaders in
Education” (Jacques Cattle Press) for
his outstanding achievement in
education.
Dr. Rao was born on May 4, 1931 in
Tumkur, Karnataka and completed his
education with support from such great
philanthropists and benevolent community
leaders as K. H. Shama Rao and Sons of
Bangalore and Sri Uttarkar Ramachandra
Rao of Mysore. He is a graduate of
University of Mysore, India, with B. A.
(Honors) in Psychology in 1954, M.A. in
1956 and Ph. D. in 1965. He came to the
United States in 1966 for post-doctoral
studies accompanied by his wife,
Jayalakshmibai, son Ravishankar and
daughter Kavita. Completed his
post-doctoral education at the
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor and
Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo,
Michigan. Mrs. Rao passed on in May 2002
after 48 years of wedded life. Both his
children are well settled with their own
families in Atlanta, Georgia and
Huntsville, Alabama.
From his younger days Dr. Rao was of the
firm view that all educated Bhavasars
should set apart a portion of their
time, money and energy for the sake of
other Bhavasars. He chaired the Second
All India Bhavasar Kshatriya Students
and Educational Conference held in 1958
in Mysore as part of the 15th All India
BK Conference. He has contributed
financially to many social causes in
Karnataka State—primarily in Mysore,
Bangalore and Davanagere. In the sixties
he was one of the key members in Mysore
in organizing Mysore District Bhavasar
Kshatriya Graduate Association. He
helped financially for the construction
of a classroom in a school building and
also made arrangements for ongoing
distribution of scholarship to the needy
and deserving Bhavasar Kshatriya
students. This association has now grown
strong with a wide range of community
services for children, elderly and women
and is functioning as a central
educational and social welfare
organization in Karnataka State.
Dr Rao is actively involved in several
social service initiatives at regional
and national levels. He has liberally
donated to the Karnataka Bhavasar
Kshatriya Amruthanidhi Trust in
Bangalore, to help poor widows in our
community. Recently in 2004, he helped
set up a new library in Davanagere,
Karnataka for the benefit of medical
students staying in a BK hostel. During
his visit to India in 2005, he was
honored by Karnataka State Bhavasar
Kshatriya Yuvajana Mahasabha, Karnataka
Bhavasar Kshatriya Amruthanidhi
Trustees, and Dakshina Bangalore
Bhavasar Kshatriya Samaj for his
philanthropic and educational
accomplishments.
Dr. Rao is greatly admired and respected
in the Bhavasar community both here in
the United States and in India for his
services and love for other fellow human
beings. These days he spends
considerable time for the Art of Living
Foundation, an international charitable
organization founded by Sri Sri Ravi
Shankar. At age 76 he is very active
personally and professionally providing
inspiration and guidance for the young
and the old. May God bless him with
health and peace in his life.
