NANJAPPA, KORAVANDA MUTTANNA, Rao Bahadur, Pleader and Coffee Planter, was educated at Mercara school and Mangalore Provincial College. He belongs to a well known Takka family of Coorg, whose home is near Mercara. His grandfather was Commander-in-Chief of the last Coorg Raja. After matriculating in 1877, ^ r - Nanjappa went to Bangalore, where he passed the munsiffs' and pleaders' examinations. In 1881 he was enrolled as a pleader in the Coorg courts, and later rose to the position of Public Prosecutor and Government Pleader. He has been con- nected with all the public movements in Coorg for many years. As Vice-President of the Municipality, member of the Temple Committee and the Planters' Association his advice has been eagerly sought. His benefactions are numerous. Among these are a boys' school in his native village, a grant of Rs. 5,000 for founding scholarships in the Mercara girls' school, and a like sum towards a public park in Mercara. The success of the local water, works is largely due to Mr. Nanjappa, who subscribed a substantial sum towards the cost. He retired from the post of Public Prosecutor in 1905 and has since devoted himself to his favourite pursuit of coffee growing, in which he has been eminently successful. His public services were recognized by the grant of a Certificate of Honour at the Durbar of 1902, and at the recent Coronation Durbar he received his well-merited title. Address: Mercara, Coorg, S. India.
