Bharat Ratna scientist gets SIR notice: 92-year-old Prof C N R Rao summoned over 'self-name mismatch' in e
Bharat Ratna scientist gets SIR notice: Professor C N R Rao, an eminent scientist, has received a notice to appear for an electoral roll hearing after a spelling discrepancy was found in his name in the records. The notice has been issued as part of Karnatakas Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Interestingly, economist Amartya Sen faced a similar issue but has been exempted from appearing in person. Such cases highlight the importance of accurate verification of electoral records.
