Scholar M.A. Hegde passed away in Bengaluru on April 18, 2021. He was a native of Mandikoppa, near Siddapura in Uttara Kannada, and had retired as the principal of a college in Siddapura.
Following his death the government had appointed a person for his place which was objected by many people, as the result the departmet has not yet changed the name of the Karnataka Yakshagana Academy president.
Hegde, who was a gifted Yakshagana stage artiste, had written over 15 Yakshagana prasangas (scripts) including ‘Dharma Durantha’, ‘Seetha Viyoga’, ‘Jagruti’,’ Trishanku Charitre’ and ‘Sabarimale Ayyappan.’
