Venkataramaiah Seetharamaiah (2 October 1899 - 4 September 1983)[5] commonly known as Vee See, was a Kannada poet, writer, essayist, critic, editor and teacher who taught Kannada literature at University of Mysore between 1928 and 1955.[6][7][8] He is a recipient of the Karnataka Sahitya Akademi Award (1973),[8] Kendra Sahitya Akademi Award and an Honorary Doctorate (D. Litt) from University of Mysore in 1976.[9] He presided over the 36th Kannada Sahitya Sammelana (Kannada Literary Conference) at Kumta in 1954.[10]

He has authored about sixty works in Kannada with about eight anthologies of poems, thirty-six works of Kannada prose, ten translations from English to Kannada and ten biographical sketches written in English.[11][12] This corpus of writing spans fifty years of his academic career and includes nearly every conceivable genre and style of writing prevalent in his time. He mainly embodied the Navodaya movement in Kannada literature in the 1950s and 1960s. V. Seetharamaiah was an Economist by education and was trained under the tutelage of N. S. Subba Rao at Maharaja College, Mysore. N. S. Subba Rao studied Economics along with J. M. Keynes at Cambridge University in the early 1920s under the eminent Economist Alfred Marshall.[13]
