'''R. C. Hiremath''' ([[kannada]]:ಆರ್.ಸಿ.ಹಿರೇಮಠ 15 January 1920 Kuradagi, Gadag, Karnataka, India – 3 November 1998 Dharwad, Karnataka, India) was a professor of Kannada and the Vice-Chancellor of [[Karnataka University]], [[Dharwar]] after [[A. S. Adke]]. Hiremath was the president of the 59th [[Kannada Sahitya Sammelana]]. He was a founding member the [[Dravidian Linguistics Association]] and the director of International School of Dravidian Linguistics (ISDL) in Trivandrum.<ref>[http://www.ijdl.org/Html/resume.htm Dr. Hiremath referenced in ISDL]</ref> His work ranges from creative and critical work to several editorial publications.

==Early life and career==
After losing his father at an early age and the loss of his mother's eyesight, R. C. Hiremath faced grave difficulties and was forced to provide for his family. He however completed his early education with great distinction and received a M.A. ([[Bombay University]] 1945) and PhD ([[Karnatak University]] 1955) in Kannada. He started his career as a professor of Kannada at Basaveshwar College, [[Bagalkot]].{{citation needed|date=January 2017}} He soon joined the emerging department of Kannada in Karnatak University, Dharwad as a reader,{{citation needed|date=January 2017}} and went on to build a full-fledged Institute of Kannada studies.<ref>[http://www.kud.ac.in/content.aspx?module=dept&page=dept_kannada Kannada Institute in Karnatak University]</ref> In recognition of his contribution to the institute, the institute was named after Dr. Hiremath posthumously. He and his team at the institute gathered an extensive collection of rare manuscripts and conducted research. This effort resulted in publication of several important Kannada works especially in the field of [[Vachana Sahitya]].

Hiremath had post-doctoral training in Modern Linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley, USA on a [[Rockefeller Foundation]] senior fellowship<ref>[https://www.jstor.org/pss/2941176 Rockefeller fellowship to Hiremath]</ref> for a period of 3 years. He was later instrumental in setting up the study of Linguistics at Karnatak University and participated in several Dravidian Linguistics conferences.

==Administrative career==
During his illustrious academic career at Karnatak University, Dr. Hiremath also took interest in several non-academic activities as a member of various committees including the syndicate and academic council. In 1974, he was called upon to fill in as the acting Vice-Chancellor when the incumbent Smt. Jayalakshammani could not perform her duties due to illness. He was later confirmed as the Vice-Chancellor from 1 May 1975 to 30 April 1978.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.kud.ac.in/content.aspx?module=about&page=about | title=About KUD - Former VCs | publisher=Karnatak University Dharwad | accessdate=22 May 2019}}</ref> During his tenure, the university celebrated its Silver Jubilee and flourished with significant investment in infrastructure. The establishment of the Music Department and the Yoga studies stand out among his unique achievements during his tenure as Vice-Chancellor. In the music department, he organised some of the most renowned exponents of the [[Hindustani Classical Music]] under one umbrella under the leadership of [[Padma Vibhushan]] Pandit [[Mallikarjun Mansur]].
