Koppal: As the saying goes, “A desire to learn has no age limit”, holds good to a senior citizen named Basavarj Bisralli (91), who appeared for a PhD examination at the Hampi University, Bellary on September 4.
 
Sharana Basavaraj Bisralli is a freedom fighter and a teacher who has served in Kavaloor, Mangaluru, Koppal and many other schools and had retired in the year 1992. The desire to complete PhD had remained within him since then but, due to several reasons, it could not be achieved. 
 
For the first time, he had attempted for the same in the Karnataka University but due to percentage criteria, he was not admitted as he had achieved only 55 percent. He continued to pursue his MA and this year, he appeared for the exam pertaining to the Literature research department. 
 
To his credit, he has already written five books.
