S.R. Krishna Murthy (b. 25-11-1936) obtained his B.Sc. degree (4th Rank) from the University of Mysore, along with a two-year Diploma in German in 1957 (1st Rank), and joined the Life Insurance Corporation of India that same year through a competitive examination. While in service, he also completed his B.L. degree from Bangalore University and earned the Fellowship of the Insurance Institute of India. He volunteered at the UN ECAFE (now ESCAP) Conference held in Bangalore in 1956, and served as an Actuarial Consultant to Canara, Corporation, and Vijaya Banks from 1972 to 1975, resigning in protest against the Emergency declared by the Government.

Alongside his career, he was actively engaged in extra-curricular work — serving the Bangalore Insurance Institute and the Insurance Institute of India in various honorary capacities from 1965 to 1992, and participating in the Institute’s technical conferences almost every year during that period. Several of his technical papers have appeared in insurance journals, and his work “National Economic Policy on Wages, Prices and Profits” was notably reviewed by a Government of India committee chaired by the economist Dr. S. Bhoothalingam in 1978.

A member of the RSS since 1945, he has remained engaged with social and national issues throughout his life. Since 2006, he has been researching the Valmiki Ramayana and the Vedas, and has authored books in Kannada, English, and Sanskrit. He is a member of WAVES-India and continues to participate actively in national and international seminars held by universities and other academic bodies.
