Governor of Reserve Bank of India (RBI) Raghuram Rajan was in Mysuru on Thursday on a daylong visit.

Dr. Rajan visited the Bharatiya Reserve Bank Note Mudranalaya, RBI’s currency note printing facility, on the outskirts of the city, and held discussions with senior officials. “It was a closed-door meeting with officials of the establishment,” a government official said.

Later, Dr. Rajan, who was accompanied by his wife, Radhika, went to Mysuru palace. Dr. Rajan, who refused to entertain queries from the media, merely said he had come to visit the palace.

Dr. Rajan and his wife were welcomed by Deputy Director of the Palace Board T.S. Subramanya, who honoured him with a Mysuru turban, a shawl and a booklet on the palace. Later, the RBI Governor went around the palace.

Visits Ranganathittu

Staff Correspondent from Mandya writes:

Dr. Rajan, accompanied by some officials, visited the picturesque Ranganathittu Bird Sanctuary, near Srirangapatna, in the evening. When they arrived at the sanctuary, Mandya Deputy Commissioner M.N. Ajay Nagabhushan and Superintendent of Police Bhushan Gulabrao Borase welcomed them.

They went around the bird sanctuary and took a boat ride on the Cauvery, sources in the Department of Forests said. Entry of mediapersons to the sanctuary was restricted during their hourlong visit from 5.30 p.m.
