&lt;br /&gt;
== Biography ==&lt;br /&gt;
=== Early life, education &amp;amp; family ===&lt;br /&gt;
P.V. Acharya was born on 15 February 1915 in the town of Kunjibettu in Udupi district near Mangalore in Karnataka. He was born to Padigaru Laxminarayanacharya (father) and Seetamma (mother). He was the youngest of five children and their only son. Acharya was five years old when his father died.  With some external financial help from extended family &amp;amp; well-wishers, he studied until high school.  He passed matriculation (10th standard) with a 100 percent score in mathematics and 85 percent in English. Impressed with his results, his school&amp;#039;s principal offered him to get admission into Mangalore&amp;#039;s St. Aloysius College with full scholarship. However, Acharya could not accept the scholarship as it would have been impossible for him to manage other living expenses while studying in a more expensive city of Mangalore. He also had the responsibility of taking care of his family. He focused on career instead.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Career ===&lt;br /&gt;
P.V. Acharya started his career as a primary school teacher in 1932 and quit the job in 1933. He joined Tulunadu Press as an accountant. There, he learned about publishing, which helped . He also had a short stint as editor of “Antaranga”  previously.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Modern Review - Volume 63 - Page 337 Ramananda Chatterjee - 1938 &amp;quot;&amp;quot; Hindi as the Lingua Franca &amp;quot; by P. V. Acharya appears in the January number of The Modem Review. I beg to correct some notions of the learned author..&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
He worked as accountant at several places after that until finally joining &amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Samyukta Karnataka]]&amp;#039;&amp;#039; Press as supervisor for jobs division in 1942. Luck came his way when H.R. Purohit, the then editor-in-chief of Karmaveera, a popular Kannada weekly magazine of that time had to take a 6 weeks long vacation for personal reasons. P.V. Acharya was asked to fill-in for H.R. Purohit. From 1947 onward he worked for Karmaveera full-time from and penned several satirical and gabby articles (ಹರಟೆ) under the pen name of Langulacharya . His articles gained instant popularity with the mass and they are regarded as being instrumental in increasing the magazine&amp;#039;s circulation.&lt;br /&gt;
His major contributions to Kannada literature and journalism were through the Kannada monthly digest called “Kasturi”, which he modelled after the popular English digest – “Reader’s Digest”. He graced the position of founder editor for the magazine from 1956 to 1975. During his tenure at Kasturi, the magazine saw success in Kannada publications.&lt;br /&gt;
Post retirement from Kasturi as editor, he continued to contribute to the magazine via a unique section called “Padartha Chintamani” , which explored the origins, contextual meanings and historical references of words. Later, collection of these articles were published as two volume book series.
