During his tenure of the membership of the Lok Sabha and the Tamilnadu Legislative Council spanning over two decades and during his Vice-Chancellorship of the composite University of Madras, Prof. G.R. Damodaran served the cause of educational development at all levels with rare dedication, commitment and outstanding creativity.
