==Professional career==
VRP Nayar commenced his professional career in 1959 when he was 20, as a lecturer in Malayalam in the South Travancore Hindu College [[Nagercoil]] ([[Kanyakumari District]], [[Tamil Nadu]]), the then southernmost college in India. He retired as Head of the department of [[Linguistics]], [[University of Kerala]], [[Trivandrum]], in August 1998. However, he is active as a teacher and was working as a Visiting Professor-cum-Coordinator, at Department of Linguistics, [[Central University of Kerala]], [[Kasaragod]] during the years 2012 and 2013.

Association with South Travancore Hindu College,<ref name="sthinducollege">{{cite web|url=http://www.sthinducollege.in/history.asp|publisher=sthinducollege.in|title=history|access-date=25 January 2017|archive-date=3 February 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150203171841/http://www.sthinducollege.in/history.asp|url-status=dead}}</ref> helped him have exposure first to colloquial [[Tamil language|Tamil]] and in due course, to the classical language and literature in Tamil.
