M R Ravi, Chief Executive Officer of Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat is an officer of great calibre who pursues his duty with a missionary zeal.

Hailing from Mysuru, M R Ravi has served the Directorate of Collegiate Education and also  as the Chief Manager of KSTDC before being posted in Dakshina Kannada.

Literature has always been close to his heart. One of his articles  has found its way into the text book for first year BBA students of Mangalore University,  much to the delight of this officer. The article "Ellaru Doctor, Engineer Adre Bere Vrithigala Paadenu" was part of his book "Namma Uddhara Nammindale’ published in 2016 and duly provides food for thought. So far Ravi has penned nearly 10 books  including one in English. He has also authored a book on Ambedkar and  an anthology of poems "Prema Laali."
